A few Ideas

It always feels like a waste when i see life pod 5 floating nearby seeing no use, I would love if we could either scrap it for mats, or upgrade it, perhaps into a boat of sorts, tack on some cyclops style side engine pods and pilot it about the surface waters as a mobile storage boat(pre cyclops). Maybe even a buildable docking port for the seamoth so you could dock and move the pod around using the seamoth.

The cyclops should have an upgradeable camera drone station for hull inspections(damned floaters lol), repairs(repair drone upgrade?) and small cavern exploration. A deterrent system like the seamoth perimeter defense would also be fantastic for the cyclops. Aimable floodlights for the existing cameras, as per the camera drone lights would be extremely helpful as well.

Thats all for the moment.

    I honestly think that that feature would be pretty neat
    but we all know the devs are too busy working on other stuff

    Ohh a command console that shows a holographic layout of the base, shows where hull breaches and the like are, allows for power management, shutting down lights/appliances/ whole rooms etc etc.

    You could tether it and tow it with the Seamoth. That'd be pretty cool. Or, I agree with canabalizing it for parts. Those (solar?) regenerating power cells would be real nice to steal and put in the Seamoth.

    I like Modi's idea too. They've got the proximity warning holo popup on the Cyclops now, a similar feature for the base would be cool.

    Ooh! What about an escape hatch or two for the Cyclops? The exterior model seems to have them already.

    I've managed to get the Cyclops so out of plane before that I couldn't get around inside, or get out. I got glitched into solid rock one time, bow up, stern down. Fell arse-over-teakettle all the way back to the engine room, standing on the aft bulkhead next to the prop shaft. An escape hatch in the ceiling there or in the bridge would be realistic and helpful.

    The Escape Pod has two exits, right?
