It could be controlled from the (perhaps stationary, or perhaps autopiloted) sub and be used to scout nearby areas.
Perhaps it could be used while a friend pilots the big sub, forcing some degree of coordination.
Maybe it could collect a few items, repair the sub, etc., although I do think there’s a risk that could detract from the game’s mechanical loops and terror.
I love the fantasy of exploring an ocean using a ROV.
Let me create EVNautilus: Subnautica Edition!
Maybe the tadpole could have a “ROV chassis” 🤔
Excelent idea, give it upgrade where we can attach a scanner to it and mode for automatic return to the big sub
