Subnautica devs, love you guys!

If you see this (highly unlikely) then I would like you to think through my vehicle idea, just be aware, I don't expect this to happen, as it would take a metric fucktonne (<- scientific measurement) of coding to actually get to work.

I got the idea when I was playing Pokemon and saw surskit. So I researched and have an idea that may (or may not) work.

The Gerridae Hovercraft!

It would, in essence, work like a cyclops in the sense that there is an interior where you can build stuff like fabricators and storage units, however it would be much smaller, closer to the interior of the escape pod. It would hover slightly above the surface and can move fairly fast.

But Wasabi, you ask, what is the point? Isn't this useless as you can't go underwater with this? Well, my attentive reader, listen well. The exosuit likely won't keep its jetpack, or at least not in the way it is now, it will probably be downgraded into a simple jump jet to get yourself out of holes, and will probably not be able to work above water, also, the exosuit will presumably not be able to move fast (most sci-fi walkers don't, even when not underwater). The answer to all this? The Gerridae! It will have a cable which the Exosuit can use to be lifted up and down, if your in the Exosuit, you can use the mouse-wheel to raise or lower yourself while on the cable, and you will instantly detatch from the cable when you touch level ground, you will also instantly attatch to the cable if you collide with it while in the Exosuit.

If the Exosuit is lifted all the way up, it docks with the Gerridae and can recharge, using a significant amount of the Gerridae's power. The Gerridae will be able to use the power efficiency module but not the hull reinforcement modules, and there will be multiple modules that are either Gerridae specific or useable by both the Gerridae and Cyclops.

The Gerridae will also be colorable and on the outside part of the ship (there is a small inside and a small outside deck) you could put solar panels to make it produce power (this may not happen as it would be overpowered as the Gerridae would always get 100% sun in the daytime).

Anyway, thats my idea, I put a lot of thought into it.

If you awesome devs see this, then please look over it and decide if its worthy of implementation. (As I said, this would take a fucktonne of coding, all I ask is that you look over it and decide if it will ever be implemented into future updates).

THANKS FOR READING!
