The submarine previously used the internal name **Trident** until it was changed due to potential trademark concerns, as well as for "implying too much" about the vehicle.+The **BigSub** is the current internal name of a large submarine planned to be added in the Early Access 2 (EA2) update of *Subnautica 2*. Although currently in an incomplete state, it represents a major vehicle addition distinct from the player-crafted submarines like the Tadpole or Scout Ray.  -Information about the BigSub is sparse, though the developers have discussed some key aspects of it:+The submarine previously used the internal name **Trident** until it was changed due to potential trademark concerns and because the name implied too much about the vehicle's specific characteristics. The developers now prefer more general internal names like "BigSub" or "Scorpius".  -*   **Acquisition**: The submarine will be found, not crafted, with only one existing in the world.-*   **Durability**: Unlike the Cyclops from *Subnautica*, this submarine will not be fully destructible. It can be put out of commission, but repair will still be possible.-*   **Operation**: Multiple players will not be required to operate the submarine, with it being equally usable in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Distinct roles will be able to be fulfilled with additional players, however.-*   **Interior**: Though unconfirmed, lead developer Anthony Gallegos has suggested that the submarine could have a modular interior that makes use of both free-build and pre-built compartments.+## Key Features  +Information about the BigSub is sparse, but developers have discussed several key aspects:+ +*   **Acquisition**: The submarine will be found in the world, not crafted. Only one BigSub will exist in a given world or server instance.+*   **Durability & Repair**: Unlike the Cyclops from the original *Subnautica*, the BigSub will not be fully destructible. While it can be put out of commission, it is designed to be recoverable and repairable using the Repair Tool.+*   **Operation**: The vehicle does not require multiple players to operate, making it equally usable in both singleplayer and multiplayer modes. However, additional players can fulfill distinct roles while onboard.+*   **Interior Design**: Though unconfirmed, lead developer Anthony Gallegos has suggested that the submarine could feature a modular interior that utilizes both free-build and pre-built compartments.+  ## Gallery   ### Developmental  -![An early developmental sketch illustrating the idea of a modular interior.](Big_Sub_modularity_concept.png)+![An early developmental sketch illustrating the idea of a modular interior.](Big_Sub_modularity_concept.png)+ +## References+ +1.
