Island overhauls

Right now, the islands are just there with plants and cave crawlers on. There's not much reason to go there apart from the degasi and precursor bases, and even then that's a one time trip. I for one have never gone to the islands after I've scanned the base stuff there. So I propose you make them a little more interesting.
- Make the floater island move around the map slowly, so one time you see it floating over the gran reef, another in the dunes, etc. You could put boundarys so it would never float into the void.
- More creatures on the islands (I know there's a post about this but I want to be more specific) my idea is something like the marine iguana. Doesn't have to be complicated, I mean you could just take the lava lizard, give it some more vibrant colours and legs. You could say it's an evolutionary cousin of the lava lizard. It doesn't have to be a lizard thing, it could be anything. I just think the islands should have some more diverse life on them.
- Change the floaters underneath the floating island into a giant reefback or something similar. I don't know. I just hunk it would be more interesting it being held up by a huge creature instead of backteria microorganism creatures. You could call it the grand reefback, as it's over the grand reef.
Those were just my ideas anyway. It would be cool to see these things added, but I realise we are in quite a late stage of development so I doubt we will see this kind of stuff. But hey. The Ghost Leviathan is in the game, so I've got my hopes up

- Reefback island would sound like BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA every time it made a noise.
- More creatures on the island sounds good, but maybe small stuff, cause then it'd be overcrowded.
- The map floating part would be hard to program, but cool as long as it stayed within it's original vicinity. The underwater islands don't move, so maybe add it so they move too.
Good suggestion, would love to see some of these come in-game.
