DOMA_Seabike - a fast micro shuttle

A miniature, open cockpit vehicle that can be controlled visually.

If you ever wanted a fast, very compact shuttle that doesn't require an airlock to help you loot wrecks or caverns, here is a functional one. Feel free to use it as a template, and pick it apart. This shuttle is part of my main, bigger submarine, so it has a few extra systems and safeguards attached to it

How does it work? How can you you hold onto the vehicle while it's moving?

As long as your body is inside a hull (blue rectangles), you are part of the submarine, and move at the same speed, but if you're outside, the submarine moves independently.

The trick is to stand inside a permanently flooded hull in the driver area, so you are part of the sub, BUT it comes with a cost: your sub will sink, as water is disproportionately heavier than air, therefore requiring a much bigger volume of air than water to maintain buoyancy

How do we do that? By stacking hulls on top of each other. At some point, enough "air" hulls will compensate the one flooded hull, achieving buoyancy. Note that it also affects the sub this shuttle is attached too, so it might destabilize it a little.
