Where is Island with Big Gun - From Zero Point

[EBCDIC Me]

Some one said N NW from Aurora. Im getting slaughtered starting from Aurora.
Where is it from Zero Point?

Slaughtered by what? Just keep playing and the game will guide you there, if you fixed the radio.

Reaper Laviathons. I know there is 2 ahead of port bow but Im now going N NW from Zero Point. And I just got killed again. I am having to Quit and reload. 3 times.

NNE From starting. But the starting point is variable so head for the cloudiness on the NE horizon. If you listen to the radio for 5 or 6 messages, it will place a marker to get there. Stay at or near the surface so you can see the clouds and the mountain will pop in.

My voice log is 700+ days. Not sure what u mean.. Ik the clouds/fog hide the island but I cant get there. I'm near end game, been there before (i'm sure) but missed the Big Gun. I'll keep trying to get there. I know I will. PS - NNE from Point Zero is not same as NNW from Aurora. Thanks.

OK i'm there. NNE from Point Zero is the mountain island with the Alien Facility attached.
Is the Big Gun in the island, or in the AF? This is the island I witnessed the crash. As close to spoiler as possible.

The alien building transforms into a big gun that shoots down the Sunbeam.

You can actually spot it when facing north. There is a cloud patch neat the surface of the ocean that is fixed in place and doesn't move the way the rest of the clouds do. As you get closer, the clouds lift and the island becomes visible.

It's not obvious at first, but that cloud patch is the best way to always locate the two islands.

How did you MISS the Gun? The PDA informs you about an unknown Energy signature as soon you reach the Island, after sunbeam gives you the Rescue-Coordinates.....
Did you ignore the Rescue-Coordinates or did you explore the Building while Sunbeam arrived?
As far as iam aware, no matter where you are, you should notice what happens to the Ship Ôo Either seeing it, hearing it or reading the incoming Message.
Also... if you were in the Building, you should have grabbed a Datalog that gives you a clear hint... its the second Datalog (i think), that you find in the building, if you access via the expected Forcefield Door.

Once you find it, leave a beacon. Even if you do follow the signal that the radio gives you, it disappears after the Sunbeam arrives.

The crash WAS caused by the big gun... I think you are misunderstanding something.

I didn't MISS it, I saw it shoot down the Sunbeam. But I never thought that other people would describe the entire structure literally as a "Big Gun". The first time I saw it I said "This must be Alien HQ" Im thinking somewhere inside the building is a defense mechanism of some kind (gun). *yawn*. that shot down Sunbeam. My interest was piqued again when I read some one said "I found the Big Gun and walked around in it". WTF did I miss the door leading to the Gun? No, I walked inside and explored also, scanned and picked up stuff etc., etc. Now at my endgame. I'm savoring every moment, until I play it again!

xD Then you probably had a visual Bug that happens sometimes. Because if you would have seen how it shot down sunbeam, you would know why we call it Gun^^
The entire Building is an Enforcer Structure, with the upper half of the Building being a Turret. As i said, there is a Datalog in the Structure that explains, how the Weapons uses an Ion-Cannon to attack anything, that gets to close to the Planet.
If you have explored everything already, i think its fine if you just watch one of the countless YT-Reactionvideos regarding Sunbeam.

Thanks.

come back and tell us your thoughts on the Scene, after you witnessed the whole incident, starting with the first rumble.

[EBCDIC Me]

That was so long ago. I think I was on the island at the time. I heard "rumbling" and I think I remember a distress call. I think I remember the gun train and elevate and fire. Next thing I recall is Sunbeam coming down in parts...
