I'm always using the 3 cameras on the Cyclops to gauge clearance, you can still pilot the Cyclops in Camera view. Just looking at the upgrades for the vehicles, the Cyclops has a sonar upgrade and a thermal power charger, unfortunately no nuclear option. Just using it as a porable base builder sounds like a plan, to put up more scanner rooms & moonpools, but having one scanner room clutters my hud too much, I can't imagine what 2 would do, then you have to fly to each scanner room to turn it off or change the sig. I just picture I'm playing Euro Truck Sim 2 when I'm in it. Cyclops is more of a slow passive transport/mini-base than an attack sub.

If you get attacked in a Seamoth, you can quickly eject to defend yourself It's not as easy in the Cyclops. I like it because it can work as tiny mobile base and has ton of resource storage. On, and I do not see a point in its 'Stealth' abilites, just ram,ing everything on full speed + shield is more fun/ I dislike the Cyclops because it's slower than the Seamoth, takes forever to eject and there's no scanner room. So unless I`m planning a big base and need to mine a whole lot of resources, I`m not touching that thing:) I just dislike ever moving that thing - with wheel obscuring down view, lacking even basic hollogram like on seaglide to navigate in a somewhat nice manner.Īnd it`s a pain to recharge until you get ion cells/thermo upgrade.
