SPOILER ALERT - Actual Title in body, Read at own risk

[Kitster_2000]

Title: Sunbeam destroyed regardless...? LAME

Body: So I never fixed/built a radio relay until after I finished the story; I didnt want to trigger the Sunbeam's arrival until after I was able to turn off the gun.

All seems well; gun is turned off, Sunbeam is flying in, and...

The RED Spike? Again? KABOOM!!!! The only thing that doesnt play is the animation of the gun actually moving - but the sounds, Green ray of Death and the Sunbeam's destruction still play out.

I want there to be TWO endings - one if the Sunbeam carries you away (which should be a thing!) and one of it doesn't, because it got destroyed, and during the credits you reflect on how you might have saved the Sunbeam by acting sooner... (which prompts you to try and deactivate the gun faster!)

btw, the picture shows the damage made by the repulsion cannon. picture is correct!

Multiple holes. No quotes. Which PDA, specifically, do you think talks about massive internal damage from a propulsion cannon used in the ship?

I have read the PDA and I've told you as much, pull up the wiki and you can get the text of them. Then just copy and paste.

What I'm seeing is you selecting some evidence and ignoring others. For instance the cannon is described as a planetary quarantine system, not a ground to air cannon, by the people who created it.

I'm not even sure what's going on because I'm late to the party. But I can tell it is salty.

basically its a challenge to the whole storyline, this guy is insisting that the aurora was in descent manuevers over 4546B when it was shot down, the fact of the matter is that the aurora was in slingshot manuevers over the planet when the "incident" occured, its stated that the aurora was still en route to its final destination, and that only part of the reason for the manuever over the planet was part of the financial burden of the trip itself was being funded by the mongolians to assist in location and possible rescue of the degasi vessel roughly 10 years prior

I'm not insisting. I just told you what the story wants you to understand.
but it seems that for some players a photo and the total lack of reasoning ... are the evidences.

Like in an airplane disaster ... the causes are investigated and conclusions are made on the basis of evidence.

I showed several moments in the story to explain that the weapon can not shoot targets in space ... just at the entrance of the atmosphere, but they keep insisting that I'm talking assumptions ... and not based on the reports and the evidence that the game show.

Do not need any CSI agent or any Sherlock Holmes wizard to find out that the Aurora was only hit by the alien weapon at the entrance to the atmosphere.

and there is a difference between accident and incident.

[Katieclysm]

Here, since you're allergic to quotes, let me do it for you.

CAPTAIN: Keen! This is Aurora, come in!
KEEN: This is Keen, lifepod detached okay, planetfall in 30 seconds!
CAPTAIN: The computer has identified a landmass at the attached coordinates! I want you to regroup the crew there!
KEEN: Understood, but-
CAPTAIN: They're your responsibility now, don't let them down!
KEEN: Captain, you need to evacuate!
CAPTAIN: Negative, you guys need the ship in one piece if you're going to contact HQ on the long-range. I'm attempting a controlled descent.
*Explosion aboard the Aurora*
KEEN: Captain?!
*Static*

To all crew - If you are reading this then you have followed the automatic distress signal broadcast by this lifepod's onboard computer, contrary to my orders. I have been forced to evacuate. Your orders are to disregard my safety and attempt to reach the designated rendezvous co-ordinates at the nearest landmass. I hope to see you there.

Nothing about altitude. And as for your claim that lifepods don't support planetary re-entry, I recommend YOU go re-look at lifepod 13. They were damaged BY re-entry. You can also see re-entry effects in the opening of the game. The only repulsion cannon incident was the one that vented deserts into space, well before reaching 4546B.

Do you actually have anything other than the translation of the alien term to "Ground-to-air" in the disease research facility and thermal plant?

[straykaiya]

Just watch teh opening scene when you start a new game, you can see the "black of space" through yoru window....i believe.......which means you are def high enough at minimum to be considered "Re-entry"

[`¯¯'-=Wing=-'¯¯´]

re-entry can not be ... it was not this atmosphere that Aurora departed ... so it's just the entrance. has already been corrected in the game text in experimental mode.

Yeah,
funny thing ... but something happened and the Aurora started to fall ... the command was transferred to the manual in command of the captain.
the evacuation happened and the aurora entered the atmosphere being hit by the laser.

on the livepod 19 pda of the second captain Keen, he states that the commander was missing, but he knew the commander was in Aurora.

two pda's or download date on the alien bases dissem that the installation of the laser gun is a floor-to-air defense platform.
One of these pda's only shows the power consumption that is intended for the platform.
the other is at the base of the gun itself.

[Stelar Seven]

The explosion that cuts off Keen is a secondary explosion from damage inflicted by the gun.

Again, just look...

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/0/08/4546B.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160513015950

Clearly the ship has sustained damage from the gun and is crashing. The atmosphere can be seen and the ship is above it.

[bongerman85]

the captain was attempting to bring the aurora in using a controlled descent once the "incident" occured. in an attempt to preserve the communications array on board the aurora as it was the only long range communication.
and by the way here is my source.

The Aurora is a spacecraft sent to the Ariadne Arm by the Alterra Corporation in order to build a phasegate. However, its secondary mission, unknown to most crew, was to search for and, if possible, rescue the survivors of the Degasi crew.
During a gravity slingshot maneuver around Planet 4546B, the Aurora was struck by a mysterious energy pulse, resulting in catastrophic hull failure, leading to it crash landing on the surface of the planet. It is later revealed that it was the Quarantine Enforcement Platform that shot it down. Many Lifepods were destroyed by the energy pulse and the ones that did launch were all compromised with the exception of one of them, Lifepod 5, containing the Player.

I wonder if the Sunbeam could drop off some cargo to help us when they leave for Earth? Some new stuff not found with the Aurora or food and water?

the sunbeam must die.

It did in one scenario. It didn't in the other.

the sunbeam MUST die. for the impudence of its captain. HIs comment about "these altera ships sending out a distress call when they run out of oil" without even bothering to first find out why you are sending a distress signal he complains about loosing money and being basically "forced" to help you. he must be punished. the Sunbeam MUST die.
