Hello again CMDR's, back with another vehicle concept. One day in ED I hope to see full atmospheric planets and oceans to explore :D so I made the vehicle I'd want to explore in... The Kingfish Submersible - A-R-V - Aquatic Reconnaissance Vehicle. More here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eJJrr3
