Ideas to make Moonpool Awesome!

Looking at the amount of space the Moonpool bay has, you can actually fit both the Seatruck and the Prawn Suit in there for maintenance. As a matter of fact, one single vehicle upgrade console would also suffice to modify both vehicles. Also, would an auto-repair be too much to ask?

Additionally, it seems annoying and counterintuitive that the modules can’t go up with the Seatruck to the moonpool. Going back to the size of the bay, it seems logical that at least one module should be able to. Especially the storage module to facilitate moving resources to your base.

Alternatively, a parking bay as a moonpool extension for your modules would be nice. Perhaps an automated parking function whenever the Seatruck rises up to the Moonpool. It would seem better than having the modules just stuck at the mouth of the bay while the Seatruck is hoisted up. Why not? Interplanetary Travel, yet you don't have auto parking?

Lastly, to satisfy those who miss the cyclops, perhaps a “mobile moonpool” might be helpful. Something that can’t go lower than 100-150m. No modules can be brought. Only the sea truck and the prawn suit. Completely customizable with storage and bed. Maybe even a small alien containment tank. It would serve as an all-in-one module for your Seatruck, with limitations to depth so it can only work as a mobile base. As a matter of fact, you can go as far as making it your permanent base if you want.
These are just my 2 cents. I really think the Moonpool could have so much more potential.

Waddaya think? Too much to ask?

    Always found the moon pool annoyingly narrow on the sides. Continually fall in heading away from it to the rest of a base.

    Yeah, I was thinking the Multipurpose Room could have a Moonpool upgrade. That way we could be encouraged to make two for the Seatruck and Prawn Suit.

    The original moonpool bay is so big yet very little space is actually used, making the walkway so narrow. Whats all that space on the bay for anyways?

    Cheers

    Even if the moonpool remained the same size, but building a second/third one right next to it morphed them into one larger moonpool that could fit the larger vehicles

    Wow that's a great idea! Connecting moonpools to make the bay longer! That would solve all the connecting module problems.
