What do you think about those?
I think it looks ugly as sin and feels as unrealistic as it comes. I mean, pipes aren't that pretty to look at either, but they don't attract attention that much. But pipes show how the electric links could be replaced.
I would rather use a piece of copper wire per wire/pipe connection than to look at these blue flashy thingies.

I feel the the current look should only be a place holder. Never the less, superconducting cables are still futuristic - especially those that are room temperature.
Blue electricity lightning bolts coursing through water (somehow?) = BAD
Conduits with wires inside = GOOD
The idea of Totally Lemon is good
I like the electrolaser idea!
The only issue is that I'd be dangerous. Anything caught between point A and B while power is flowing becomes really crispy. Small fish, plankton, Reaper Leviathans, and the player could be killed by it.
Although originally theorized as a weapon, it's really called a laser induced plasma channel. Basically, the laser generates an electrically conductive channel of plasma, through which electricity can be conducted. There are other methods of transferring energy via laser. It's called power beaming, but it can be just as dangerous. If the devs are planning to have Subnautica anchored in realistic technology than this is the only option. This is considering that all other wireless methods are either too short range, or ridiculously impractical.
Okay how about using microwave transmission?
But idk, future tech might have some sort or cold plasma shielding, or force field... like the propulsion cannon tech.
Please define cold plasma?
Magnetic fields could perhaps contain the plasma for use as a highly conductive conduit. Subnautica is already spiced with some nifty future tech, so this isn't too far fetched.
So this means that the plasma itself is the conductor? mmmmh interesting, how conductive would it be?
Also. I'm quite in favor of solar panels.
As a quite creative problem solver, and an electrician's apprentice, i have quite a few ideas that could be somewhat useful when it comes to adding realism/cooler technology to this game.
