The compas of the cyclops is way off. Think they put it backwards. Just check your compas with the one of the cyclops and you see the difference.

    Unless I'm mistaken, the compass aboard the Cyclops has been backwards since it's inception.

    I think it's a different style of compass, like you might find in an older ship in the real world.

    Did a google image search, "nautical compass" didn't show much, but "ball compass" works like the Cyclops one(look at the arrow on the compass). Because of the viewing angle on the Cyclops' ball compass, they have to have the side facing the player be the direction of travel. It did feel backwards for a short time when I first saw it on the Cyclops, but I would have had more trouble with the side I see telling me where I'm not going.

    The developers could maybe put an arrow like the images of Ball Compasses in google, to clarify it.

    Make sense, but still think they should change it.The compas should work the same for the player regardless swimming or vehicle. Or I'm I missing something.

    Either that or it needs to be made clear that it's reversed.

    You know... I don't think I ever even noticed there even was a compass in the Cyclops. Are you sure it has one? :)
