Keeping Tension

I think creatures should have hunting patterns and medium creatures should have more of a threat as they currently do little to no damage making them more of an annoyance rather than something to avoid and plan around. Its more scary in my opinion when you feel like the larger creatures are hunting you staying quiet you have no clue where they are to avoid them even if you are in your vehicle (of course until you get sonar or equivalent upgrades then you can avoid them much better)

Towards the later end of subnautica leviathans also just became an annoyance i felt completely safe in my prawn suit as with the grapple hook you could achieve speeds making you completely uncatchable and just shutting the engine off in the cyclops made them ignore you. I think leviathans should make less noise idly, and only scream on attacks. What made the reaper extra scary was because it would always be behind you and then essentially jump scare you. Athough, eventually maybe it was a bug but it would just always scream continously whenever i entered the area which I thought was too much. When you are in an area they are in you should be worried about where they are. Maybe make them wait to attack until you hop out of the vehicle where they are waiting for you. Make them break the cameras something to that end and give them a larger patrol pattern the juevenile ghost leviathans just felt like they were always there in the linear paths of the lost river and made it them annoying i always know where they are and they pose no threat to me in my vehicles. The vehicles probably also shouldn’t give full immunity but if they break tehy should be salvageable later and not too much of a hassle to replace.
