Somewhere between a feature and a gripe is the fact that that blue/white items disappear if you leave the planet. This is a big fat teaser if the item is on an island and you have mountain climbers installed. As a feature, it would be nice if either items are more persistent or before you visit a planet you can get a clue as to what terrain is available (maybe an option to scan the planet from orbit and get something like 15% liquid, 10% mountains, 25% trees, 50% other.) That could clue you in to take something appropriate like scanners for heavily wooded landing sites.
