Aquatics Drones

I seem to recall the the Rangers will check on the status of our Marine Reptiles via a drone.

How does the drone get in the tank, does it just magically appear?

I propose that a UUV (unmaned underwater vehicle) bay be created that attaches to the tank wall, where the Rangers can go to and launch the ROV to do it's thing. You can model it after the aquatics fish feeder, just release the ROV instead of fish. Change the skin to have black/yellow caution strips around the gate to differentiate it from the fish feeder. The ROV should look different then it's airial counterpart.

If our Marine Reptils get sick or injured, this also can serve the MVU teams to allow treatment or to tranq for transport to the Vets.

Most of the assets to do this are already in game. The majority of the work would be the animation for the launch/recovery of the ROV from the bay.

Thanks for consideration.

We know that they do. Its the same way with the aviaries
I don't buy that. That would mean you would need a Marine hatchery for every marine species housed in it's own enclosure. Too expensive, take up too much space. It also would render remote release pointless, how would the drones get to the other tanks?

Same could be said for the Aviary, but Rangers can drive into the enclosure to check on the critters. They can not do that for aquatics.

This is still needed

In the gameplay demo, the hatchery needs the ranger to come visit in order to do checkups. We literally see the drone come out of the aviary hatchery in Frontiers gameplay

That's the Aviary, this is about aquatics. Makes more sense and easy enough to do then having a seperate hatchery for each 'lagoon'/enclosure, hence a request.
 
bruh, we see that you have to add the lagoon hatchery to the ranger team schedule in order to get updates on them
Again, I'll say there is a better way to do it. I do not want a build with 5-6 hatcheries, only one is needed. Add the drone station, Rangers go there to check on aquatics instead of hatchery, just need one hatchery and what ever number of drone stations required. Makes more sense, takes up less space. Why you so set against that? I can't help you see the value this has, but it's plain as day.

Im just telling you whats in the game. I cant help you believe me
 
I agree with what you are suggesting and I hope it gets added to make the game more realistic. Maybe they can serve as an underwater ACU team as well, because it's a little difficult to dart marine reptiles (if we even need to) with the ACU helicopter.

The drones will come out of a Hatchery to check on the Ranger Post. It's been detailed further in the latest Park Management Guide:
