Weekly Poll: Submarine Types/Classes

SPIRIN1224 · November 2015

Alright guys… last week I posted a poll, today I viewed that poll happy to say that "New Subs" wins!!!

So now here is a poll for what type of subs… as usual give pictures/videos explaining your ship class.

Have example in comments.

[REDACTED] If OVER five people choose the exosuit I will go ahead and plan the next few polls about exosuits!!!

Also new submarines ALWAYS.

1. with like removable extra air tanks, and maybe a camera that can pan around, basically a upgraded version of the sea moth, Like new sea moth. Tier 2

2. with hangar for seamoth and exosuit. comes with huge top deck with big windows. Galley, (Kitchen), bathroom, research room with HUGE 3d map, like on sea glide.

The Capital Would be amazing, I'd be building stuff in so many locations with something like that to move around in. this would be hard to get bored over as I love to build huge ships in space engineer's so I'm biased towards this option haha, but would be so worth it lol. if that was not possible the dread would be my other pick thanks for this poll very interesting.

lxh · November 2015

Something between Cyclops and Seamoth would be great. With fix installed storage and optional propulsion to grab without leaving the sub.

fireboy633 · November 2015

we shud get the ggiant sub who doesnt want there underwater base IN a moving thing

How about we do more subs... eventually. I mean I like the ideas, but we are just now getting to the point the existing 2 subs are becoming "upgradable", if we add more ships there will just be more people asking for expansion \ modification \ variants of those. I would rather the Devs focus on an established method of upgrading a vessel, that the community likes and has visual and practical pay-offs. Once that is established we can add other vessels.

There are so many core elements to the game that are still in pre-alpha, I'd just as soon they figure out the infastructure before getting too distracted with all the peripheria. Just my opinion of course, but that is typically how early access games die a premature death.

I couldn't agree more. Let the developers make their game. If it's good so far, then we should trust that their finished product will be even better.

Jacara · November 2015

I voted for a Capital Ship, but what I really want is a floating platform to build a base on that can be moved and anchored.

My poll before this dealt with that, I actually really considered that idea since in the past people didn't want new subs so Major Upgrades and variants are a Great Idea. Although I still prefer new subs.

The_Shark · November 2015

Under the sea, under the sea...
Honestly, I think the type of sub I'd most like to see would be one that can go so far underwater that you're in hell. Like, the Monarch idea I proposed. Able to go up to 20 km deep (our own Mariana Trench is only 12km.)

Th3Gam1ngWiz4rd · November 2015

Honestly if we get the Capital Ship in the game, a new creature, just as big, if not bigger than the Capital Ship, should be implemented to even the odds between humans and creatures.
It would make it a whole lot more dangerous!

And I'm not trying squash your ideas. I've my own threads involving what I'd love to see happen to the base building, I just know as a community we have to contain some of our enthusiasm until we have a solid core game. Not easy I admit.

SPIRIN1224 · November 2015

Good Advice thank you.

Also great discussion love the pictures.

I Guess I have been a little ESPASTIC, so yeah I am going to be more cool and yeah probably should release enthusiasm when it is set in stone.

SPIRIN1224 · November 2015

Hmm looking at results…

No votes for Exosuit?

Well, don't cool your jets too much, lol. Ideas are always a good thing, it's their timing that's key. I don't think anything is ever "set in stone" when it comes to game development, but we do get to a state of feature lock at some point. There's just a lot of 'feel your way' when it comes to early access so focus on a set of core ideas (pillars of development) seems to be important before a lot of deversification becomes healthy.

04Leonhardt · November 2015

More mini mechs!

SPIRIN1224 · November 2015

Thinking bay for cyclops. Dual Decks

lxh · November 2015

The Capital Ship so far? Uh .. big boys - big toys, what? *G
But serious: Where do you think to move this thing? Scrape it from reef to reef while just turning around in about a minute? And what is it good for? Feel safe? Superior? I'm curious!

Anyway, if you'd get a sporty middle class reaper hunter you would have more fun.

Soul_Rider · November 2015

I believe there may be one more bigger sub planned....

dangit I can't agree or disagree with this

. anyhow I love how you put you're trust in the dev's, most usually complain to them. The fact that they even made this A (unfinished game) open to us all, tell's me they want to hear from us. so that's where the disagree comes in. >.< but still we don't need to overload them with to much if we can all agree on the most popular post's there may be a chance you might see it happen (maybe).

This:

It's a decent size, but not Star Destroyer material like so many people want. Who knows, pretty soon players will be asking to build their own miniature rocket ship to leave the planet and defeat the purpose of this game entirely...

Let's be realistic here. This game isn't Super Sub Simulator '06, it's an underwater exploration/survival game. My bet is that Capital Ships will never be a thing because it would move this game's development along a completely different vector... I can't believe I even have to state this.

It's cool to have imaginations run wild, but I don't see what Capital Ships have to do with Subnautica.

Yeah, it might be cool, but it would make the player impervious to the danger aspect of this game. Also, super-massive-continent-sized-creatures-that-hunt-the-player arguments are invalid - because they are way outside the game's own logic, plausibility, and developmental restrictions.

Thats pretty much my Idea of a cruiser and since it is a little bit bigger than a cyclops, I think it would be OK. Otherwise I agree with your comment.

P.S. Is there a Super Sub Simulator '06, I would LOVE to play it

• Arm: Terraformer (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Builder (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Flashlight (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Welder (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Grasper (Allows the player to grab items and either move them around or collect them from inside the suit. Similar to the Propulsion Cannon, but with far reduced range.)
• Back: Thruster (Increases movement speed by 4 meters per second)
• Back: Power Pack (Allows the suit to hold 4 additional power cells)
o Basically, this is my thoughts on the current exosuit that’s in development. I’ve always thought that everything needs a name, and “exosuit” just wasn’t enough. So, behold the Ogre. I’m a person who thinks the exosuit (Ogre) should act as an outer skin, still able to do many of the things the player can, but able to dive far deeper without being crushed.

• EM-2 (Engineering Mech)
o Golem (Heavy Exosuit)

• Arm: Builder (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Flashlight (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Welder (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Grasper (Allows the player to grab items and either move them around or collect them from inside the suit. Similar to the Propulsion Cannon, but with far reduced range.)
• Arm: Repulsion Cannon (Works the same as the handheld version)
• Arm: Minnow Torpedo (Can cycle through SANIK, Cleave, Chronus, Vibro, Mole, Swarm, ILLUMA, and DETECT warheads)
• Back: Thruster Pack (Increases movement speed by 8 meters per second)
• Back: Power Pack (Allows the suit to hold 8 additional power cells)
• Back: Evacuation Thruster (Launches the exosuit 500 meters upwards, to help escape potential danger. A second thruster will increase this launch distance to 2500 meters.)
• Back: Storage Container (a single 8x6 storage compartment)
o The Golem is a scaled-up version of the Ogre. A towering mechanical walker, the Golem is, again, meant to do the same things the player can, but far deeper down. It doesn’t hurt that it can do things the player can’t, though. Carrying an extra two inventories sure can help.

• AM-1 (Aerial Machine)
o Falcon (Light Airborne Transport)
 20 meters
• 680 meters per second
• 170 mps/s
• 0 meters down, 1000 meters up

 Thrust Focusers (increases maximum speed by 680 meters per second)
 Heat Tolerance Panels (doubles acceleration speed)
• Minnow Torpedo Tube (Can cycle through SANIK, Cleave, Chronus, Swarm, ILLUMA, and DETECT warheads)
• Storage Tube (a single 6x8 storage container)
o The Falcon, like all of the aerial vehicles on this list, is meant to be able to fly. Obviously. Anyway, it’s designed around the idea of the Harrier VTOL jet, able to fly directly upwards, and then suddenly blast up to Mach 2 is four seconds. With both upgrades dedicated to Thrust Focusers, it will travel Mach 6, which is incredibly slightly over 2 kilometers per second. When you have the need for speed, go with the Falcon.

• AM-2 (Aerial Machine)
o Condor (Heavy Airborne Transport)
 40 meters
• 340 meters per second
• 34 mps/s
• 0 meters down, 2500 meters up
• 500 meters down, 7500 meters up
• Hull breach below 500 meters, hull breach above 5000 meters
• 680 meters per 1 power
• 400
• 100 per Power Cell
o 4
o 4
 Hull Supports (increases safe height, unstable height, and explosion-if-damaged height by 1250 meters. Also increases safe depth, crush depth, and implosion-if-damaged depth by 250 meters.)
 Thrust Focusers (increases maximum speed by 340 meters per second)
 Heat Tolerance Panels (doubles acceleration speed)
 Ejector Seat (Launches the player in a 3-meter-diameter glass sphere 500 meters upwards. Gravity will then take effect. The bubble will open when it stops moving.)
• Minnow Torpedo Tubes (Can cycle through SANIK, Cleave, Chronus, Swarm, ILLUMA, and DETECT warheads)
• Storage Tube (a single 6x8 storage container)
o The Condor, like the bird of the same name, is meant to be big and powerful. Able to carry the same things as the Falcon, though in larger amounts. Maximum speed without upgrades is Mach 1, and with all upgrades to speed, Mach 5.

• AM-3 (Aerial Machine)
o Roc (Airborne Command Hub)
 160 meters
• 170 meters per second
• 17 mps/s
• 250 meters down, 500 meters up
• 1250 meters down, 1500 meters up
• Hull breach below 750 meters, hull breach above 750 meters
• 170 meters per 1 power
• 1600
• 100 per Power Cell
o 8
o 2 Large, 4 Medium, 8 Small
 Power Upgrade (doubles maximum power storage and the amount of power that can be harnessed from each Power Cell)
 Hull Supports (increases safe height, unstable height, and explosion-if-damaged height by 1000 meters. Also increases safe depth, crush depth, and implosion-if-damaged depth by 500 meters.)
 Thrust Focusers (increases maximum speed by 170 meters per second)
 Heat Tolerance Panels (doubles acceleration speed)
 Ejector Seat (Launches the player in a 3-meter-diameter glass sphere 500 meters upwards. Gravity will then take effect. The bubble will open when it stops moving.)
• Small: Minnow Torpedo Bay (can cycle through SANIK, Cleave, Vibro, Swarm, ILLUMA, WIRE, and DETECT warheads)
• Small: Small Storage Room (8 lockers with 6x8 storage)
• Small: Laboratory (DNA analyzer, fragment analyzer, fabricator, and any other crafting stations that are added in the future)
• Small: Living Area (4 beds, 4 footlockers with 4x8 storage, and a fabricator)
• Medium: Storage Compartment (16 lockers with 6x8 storage)
• Medium: Skimmer Dock (Docks the Skimmer high-speed personal transport)
• Medium: Ogre Dock (Docks the Ogre light engineering mech)
• Medium: Goliath Torpedo Bay (can cycle through SANIK, Cleave, and Vibro warheads)
• Large: SeaMoth Dock (Docks the Seamoth utility submersible)
• Large: Sailfish Dock (Docks the Sailfish personal transport)
• Large: Falcon Hangar (Docks the Falcon light aerial vehicle)
o The largest of the three flying vehicles. Like the mythical Roc, it’s a massive flying monster that casts a shadow that terrifies everything in its path. The mythical creature eats elephants, this one just needs power cells. Large enough to carry SeaMoths, Sailfish, and Falcons. Maximum speed without upgrades is Mach .5, with this increasing to Mach 4.5 with full speed upgrades.

Ouch ... too long to read

Too big of a ship would be bad... I mean, the Aurora is about the size of what everyone wants. And let me add that many of the biomes aren't even big enough to house a ship that big. It'd end up being stuck almost everywhere.

I mean, why escape in the Aurora with a ship that big? Right? If you could do that, what's the point of repairing the Aurora?

I don't think repairing the Aurora will be an option. Given the tech scanning and looting ideas on their Trello I think it will be used as a treasure chest for Blueprints and resources, but escaping the planet (or colonizing it) will eventually become part of a SOS and Transmission Broadcasting system.
