There is a lot of people starting discussions on vehicles and more base parts, blah, blah...
This is getting a bit out of control and things just seem a big silly and or not with the spirit of the game. For example ANY HOVERCRAFTS! all the hovercraft ideas are just plain weird and seem cheaty. A very fast vehicle that hovers above the water carrying a cyclops worth of resources across the ocean within two seconds is stupid, this game is about exploration and the journy.
There are more ideas on weird hybrid seamoths, basically, people are trying to get the devs to make weird submersibles to fulfil their every need.
This game is about adventure and the struggle for surviving, the moment when you realise you're about to die from thirst! I just don't think we need all these new funky ships floating around!
Anyway, that's just my opinion, so vote and tell us why you think we need a wider range of things to traverse the seas, or if we've got enough already.

Now that I think about it I would like a little raft that I could fish on all day...
the second one would be a hovercraft, like you said. this hovercraft could possibly hold a weapon that paralyzes its targets. this could be useful
against large creatures trying to attack you, such as reaper leviathans.
the third one i would probably let the community decide. i don't have many idea's, but i picture them to be very unique.
Again, there is no real need for this ATM
Nothing is achieved from flying across the map IMO
Making and owning vehicles is just kind of fun.
yeah its not as if adding additional content to the game could improve it
that's just ridiculous and completely against everything that subnautica stands for
There's always hope...
not necessarily 'additional content' in general but specifically more with vehicles. if we added more (vehicles), what would their primary function be?
Seamoth -> small, fast
Cyclops -> mobile base, safe haven
PRAWN -> walk on the seafloor
So what would we need anything else to do?
A mining vessel would not carry an abundance of vehicles, at best they'd have a handful of vehicles for jobs such as harvesting, exploring/scanning, or mining.
The Seamoth covers the job of exploration and could be used for scanning with the proper equiptment refit.
The Cyclops is a good deep-sea explorer vessel but really needs extra options for either processing or building.
The P.R.A.W.N suit is your mining tool, docked inside the Cyclops is an advantage but again the problem lies in not having an actual docking point or enlarged moon pool available.
I don't think anyone is asking for any core gameplay updates before V1.0, so why do you bring it up?
I have answers, not to mention so has UWE although I seem to be the only hype for a jetpack, but again, I don't care about sharing when I'm put on the defense. Props to anyone who is willing to engage.
Unless the vehicles are purely for fun, there would be almost no point in adding them because all the things you would need a sub for are already covered.
(And before someone brings it up, no, the scanner room isn't equivalent. Those drones are based at the scanner room; the ROV would be based on the sub.)
But as for another full-blown vehicle, the only thing we could add now would be toys rather than survival tools, like @ShuttleBug said.
