I think the spade fish looks ugly (looks fake) and either needs to be altered to make it look more graphically real looking or just remove it from the game as it looks bad compared to the other fish in the game.
...? there are some alien looking creatures on this planet that we thing are ugly and shouldn't exist. and next you'll say the hole fish is also ugly and should be removed. no dice.
I think the hole fish looks good. The spade fish looks bad. I just don't think the quality is there for how it looks, maybe if it was retextured or something. Also, the mouth looks like a line was drawn for its mouth, it looks super fake. When I compare it to the other fish in the game it's like comparing a stick figure drawing to a photograph of a person. It wouldn't bother me if it was gone and replaced with something better looking. I also have no objection to creatures in the game that don't look anything like what we have on earth.

Maybe that's just the way it looks. You might not like it, but if you don't like the way an organism looks, what can you really do? Nothing. I'm not crazy about some of the creature designs but I know that they most likely won't change, so I just deal with it (pun intended). And if you just really can't take it, go retexture it yourself for your own personal use. Because if you can't do it yourself, do you really deserve to have it?
I have a ton of creature concepts, when you design something; you have to account for:
-geology
-biology
-dimorphism
-environment
-size
-role
-diet
-active time (Nocturnal, Diurnal, or solar)
-social structure
an example I had was for a large flight based reptilianoid that would be about 3-4 meters tall and have a mouth lined with hundreds of needle like teeth used to impale fish. It would rest during the day and come out to feed at night. it would be a creature like a bat that would inhabit large island caves and would migrate thousands of miles amongst mainland shores and islandic caves for migration and breeding. regardless you will rarely find them inside the continent, and they would often be considered sand angels at that point, an almost entirely different species. (planet geology is split oceanic and desertitified, with small oasises of grassland and rainforests.)

With that way of arguing we don't really need a suggestions forum anymore, do we? "Oh you want to suggest something? Well, do it yourself. If you can't you probably shouldn't have it."
The spadefish could exist on this planet, it looks fine, it just looks different to anything we've seen before and that's why it looks so "weird" and "fake". If you don't want it too look "fake" maybe we should have a game with real life whales, fish and sharks. Maybe there shouldn't be a spaceship because they don't exist, we can't travel that far into space.
Personally, I like the look of the Spadefish. It's unique, like many of the creatures in Subnautica. If you want to see a weird fish, take a look at the real life Goblin Shark. We can't just say "hey, I think the Goblin Shark looks weird, so we should change or remove it".
He doesn't criticize that the fish looks alien he's saying that he thinks the quality of the model and texture isn't good. Very different matter.
Thank you, somebody understands me. Anyhow, I think healthy debate is good thing as long as it is done with the right attitude and not being too critical of different opinions. Like the face palm post, I find disrespectful. You guys need to remember it is just a suggestion, and my intention and motive was to make a suggestion that I felt would make the game better for all of us to enjoy. Please don't make a comment that is supposed to make me feel like an idiot for daring to think differently than you do.

You do realize that fun and games should never be censored, but yeah in this day and age everyone including my goldfish is going to feel insulted in some way shape or form. TBH I don't like this development one bit!
I however do agree the textures are smelly on that fish. Something fishy about it!

Wow, you really scaled a mountain of bad puns to get to that one, didn't you?

Actually I had to dive deep to surface with that one, but sea what you did there!
Far from me to try and get things back on topic... However, let's get things back on topic shell we. Might as well do so or this thread is going to be all wet...

@Darwin-Evolution hate to rain on your parade but this thread is becoming very shallow and OP is drowning in sorrows if this stuff keeps floating around
/me runs
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
UWE git on that better texturing dammit, geeeezzzzz you guys are almost as bad as me! Perhaps even worse cause I'm trying to cover my tracks by on-topic-ing in this sea of off-topic-nessi

The fish puns are coming in spades about this issue.
I see the spadefish as inspired by the real world Bothriolepis, so I guess nature makes dumb looking things too
My only complaint is that the spadefish should be sitting on the bottom poking around in the sand. However in their current mode of swimming in the ocean makes them easy to catch.
I kinda like them salted with a side of seaweed and a large bottle of filtered water.

Had me worried there. Thought someone was going to say that the Spadefish was way too OP.

ALRIGHT THAT'S IT, I'm banned from this thread xD
Well I think its a little lake for that, I'm sure you didn't extend this for so long on porpoise.
