Is swimming going to be a thing?

[Latriam]

Have played a lot of builder types of games and you could swim through the oceans,

I did not see a listing talking about this in a plan?

I searched but not see a topic about this either.

seems silly to make players respawn and fetch items that ended up on bottom of ocean floor.

Thanks for listening

Does the game allow the ability to build ships that go under water?

[Mamba_Lev]

Short term i can't see any point in it.

those questions are yet under NDA...
expect an answer when the NDA ends in 29 days

Apart from initially seeing water I have found no difference once you enter it. You just walk along. Not sure about taking a vehicle in it. If you go mining and enter the water table, once you have descended into the water there is no difference. At some point will we see the biomes filled with animal life forms? The oceans seem very sadly empty when compared with say NMS.
