Submersible vehicles?

How likely do you think is it that, with the continuing expansion of planetary landings, we will be able to explore water worlds with submersible vehicles? Where would we leave our ship though? The polar ice cap is one parking spot that comes to mind.

edit: Wanted to make a poll asking if this idea interests you or not, but I wasn't sure how as I've checked th poll option but there nothing else.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get that (or some kind of hybrid land-water buggy). The big question is when. Will the atmospheric landings season follow the atmosphereless landings, or will we be waiting in limbo?

On the last dev stream I watched, I seem to recall someone asking that very question; they responded that they are definitely not coming before atmospheric landings are implemented, as you need to have an atmosphere in order to have liquid oceans / lakes / rivers etc. The impression I got from that is that they're not opposed to it, so it's under the "maybe - would be cool in one of the post Horizons expansions" category.

I figured from the start that we'll be limited in the 1.5 release because the devs are still working out how to handle oceans, submersible vehicles, climate change, atmospheric pressure, etc.

I'd be really bummed if it's just kind of a "Fall into water and die" thing. I mean I'd be okay with it at first as long as they promised to introduce it at some point. We could even have the option of launching our pressurized control pod from the SRV into water as a submersible pod or something.

It would be cool if we could do this, the level of underwater detail seen in, for example, World of Warcraft, is testament to the fact that it can be done seamlessly and very very well indeed.

Probably the first implementation will be a fishing rod with a Wing of other FPS Cmdrs to look after the Keep Net and watch out for Poachers/Bailiffs ;)

Given the levels of atmospheric pressure and temperature seen on some planets I'd imagine that if ships could handle those conditions then liquids shouldn't be much different. I also want to take my ship for a dip in an ammonia ocean, it would come up all nice and clean...

With season 1 we got space flying, with season 2 we will get flying in gravity and driving on planet, for season 3 they need something new (like flying in atmosphere and submersible vehicles).They need to add some new game mechanics to game and not just new place to land.
