Make more use of the Cyclops

I was told to be brutally honest, so how about something that gets to me like this...

I'm annoyed that the Cyclops doesn't serve more of a purpose than just one big movable home.

It's description says "Vast INDUSTRIAL USE submarine"

Where's the "industrial use?"
It can store a Seamoth, move around (Slowly, by the way, considering you can swim faster than it moves if you have the ultra glide fins) and provide a safe place... But other than that, there's not much else it can do.

I wanna see it be put to use in some "industrial" way. Maybe it can help excavate and mine materials, or can tow some big object, or have some robotic arms that can extend and interact with the environment like modern day remote subs, or maybe it can cast nets and catch fish, or SOMETHING.

Right now, it's just one big mobile moon pool.
Literally.

So maybe let's see some "industrial" use for it?

    Well apparently it'll act to deploy the Exosuit... And from looking at the Wiki, there's planned upgrades to give it INSANELY deep crush depth values. So there's some utility there.

    Also, in the March's big update , the Seabases and the Seamoth will be granted limited O2 supply so you'll be able to use the Cyclops as an air refiller for the seamoth at low depth, instead of having to re-surface often. this will come in extremely handy when youll explore very deep areas with the seamoth.

    But again, it can't DO anything. It houses exosuits and Seamoth. It can go deep. Ok? What else?

    Personally i dont mind it doing nothing in particular in itself. Im glad to see that in the near future they'll give it more purpose than what it is now. i can live with the fact that itll be a mobile base that allows me to explore very low depths and house my seamoth/exosuit

    the fact that I can store HUGE amounts of crap in it is enough for me, I hardly use a seamoth..... Literally - I drive the 'clops somewhere, then dive out to pick stuff up
    that said - please give both subs side cameras!

    the fact that you cant look up nor down in the Cyclops is the big bummer for me, if i had to fix something itd be just that
