i don't understand those who complain about this because normally they get through the debris field. people. do you know the slightest thing about game development and/or how stories work? Their would be effectively 0 point in making the sunbeam actually land. it would cost so much time and money for what is effectively an easter egg that roughly 4 people will actually do and the rest will just look up on youtube. and 2, if the Sunbeam lands, the entire world and story that they have built would be destroyed. after the Sunbeam lands, several members of the ship would come in contact with the virus when enzyme 42 had only just been released. these people would not touch any enzyme 42, thus, spreading it among all of humanity, then to all creatures on all the planets that humanity have colonized, etc. it would wipe out the majority of the entire galaxies population.

[@holycable5909]

What I wager is that shortly after the Aurora's crash, the debris is all pretty much in one spot where the crash happened, but over time the debris eventually floats outward and covers a wider area, creating a debris field. If you make the call like normal, the Sunbeam can land cause the debris is all still primarily around the crash site but if you call them later the debris covers a much wider area, making a safe landing impossible. You see this same debris field in the game's ending.

[@Ronin_72]

They must have changed that recently but I think originally, it used to revert to the normal way despite the cannon being disabled, they were going for shock and awe to shoot it down. They should have also dressed the normal, if you don't have the cure, sequence. To what idonno but something different. I guess they didn't figure people would attempted this despite making it possible to get the cure in roughly an hour and a half or just not use the radio. Ether change the normal sequence or force you to use the radio because this is 100% not tied to the story's chain of events. It seem that the only reason the radio is in the game is to get you out to explore and discover.

It would’ve been nice if this was the “good” ending. With you getting home without the debt. Instead of being able to activate the Sunbeam whenever you have a set number of days to do so before the Sunbeam loses interest from lack of communication. So that way it’s actually a bit of a challenge to do everything you need to do for them to arrive with being murdered.

[@cjthenarhwalking1378]

In this ending more time has passed since the crash allowing debris to orbit around and block their path

[@SkiggsMoDiggs]

I'm annoyed by the amount of people saying Sunbeam had bad intentions or whatever. This is just circumstantial storytelling. In multiple games, the option you choose can change the story, even past events. This is so there's no way in getting around an important plot point. For example, there HAS to be an obstacle stopping the Sunbeam, no matter what. The intended one is the laser blowing up the ship. But since there is a way to get rid of that obstacle, the alternative is putting another one in the way. There is now too much debris in space, because the previous obstacle was destroyed. Congratulations, you changed past events with present decisions.

[@birkinsmith88]

Whenever I play, I always try to save The Sunbeam. No sense in this planet taking any more ships, right?

To be honest, the sunbeam landing would've been a really cool alternate ending. Like you have two paths to chose, do it all quickly and you don't have to build the neptune or take your time and make your own ship. If you've already cured yourself, I don't see why skipping the ship building is that important of a gameplay step to keep.

[@zippydaspinhead]

I get what you are saying, and it makes total sense from a story perspective, but its clear the devs didn't expect people to even attempt this.

I think they could have done this a better way. Still have the Sunbeam come in but this time the debris causes trouble to one of their engines (like a bird through a plane engine) and it still explodes. Leaving enough time for a couple more lifepods to eject out of the Sunbeam clear opposite side of the map. And by the time you get there no survivors.

So incredibly neat. Should've known the devs would add a joke. Especially love how the timer keeps counting into negative numbers, just to rub in that the Sunbeam is overdue xD

[@undersiren222]

Sunbeam:is that a lazer no problem!*boom!* Also Sunbeam:is that trash sorry I can't go through have fun!!!

Alternative title: speed run to save sunbeam

[@MasterKingSirPlease]

I think everyone who played this game through the first time witnessed the Sunbeam explode

[@13wolfy13]

This implies you can literally save the sunbeam by just... Not answering the phone basically.

[@marp_625]

Task failed successfully

[@Peeperfishlol]

So normally the sunbeam will turn into Tom cruise dodging the debris?

[@lagulagod381]

I also think that even tho the sunbeam was destroyed following the story normally, that sunbeam prolly is unmmaned, with the ones communicating in the other side of the radio is in the real sunbeam outside the planet

[@BumblebeeTuna23]

So what you're saying is, that this one.... IS A DECOY!! 😱

[@jackthatistheripper]

So when they see a big fucking gun aiming at their ship there's no debris at the landsite, but when the gun is off there's a lot of debris

[@mr.ripley3846]

Well speedrun trough the entire game and take of the planet before the two commanding officers evan get the idea to go to the Aurora and beeing intercepted by a Reaper.

[@yuathefoxx]

shouldnt the sunbeam have some protective shit like the neptune does when you launch DIRECTLY into the bloody debris?!?!

[@BumblebeeTuna23]

Sunbeam is a small ship, too small for a shield :)

[@yuathefoxx]

@@BumblebeeTuna23 the neptune was smaller

[@BumblebeeTuna23]

@@yuathefoxx The Neptune was also designed by Alterra to use the Cyclops shield. That's my head-canon anyway lol

[@TheMsdos25]

here I thought the sunbeam would crash-land because the island was too small. Now I wish I had held off on using the radio.

[@alistairvan4059]

Imagine if the sunbeam actually arrived, then it would be you win the game without needing the Neptune escape rocket

[@mandycraddock1298]

At first I thought the guy was named sunbeam not the ship I’m so dumb lol

[@kiro_derg]

just wait until you release the enzyme before you fix the radio in the lifepod

[@Terzo6666]

I knew the radio was the one behind all the death, don’t use the radio at all until you beat the game and the sunbeam will not be destroyed

[@aussie_donkeykong4616]

The easiest way to get this message would probally be to not fix the radio until you reach the emperor then wait for the sunbeam message IF it comes.

[@Electricshrock]

As far as weak sci fi plot hole patch jobs go, this is right up there with "The moon's gravitational field obscured our warp signature"

[@thewindwakinghero7423]

what if you end quarantine while it's landing but before it gets shot down

[@almgandi16]

As I tried that the console said I was infected and that I couldn't shut down the power... I wasn't that far, that I could cure the infection so the Sunbeam was shot down...

[@learntodrawwithnoah5612]

you can do this by teleporting to all places needed to go with dev commands

[@BumblebeeTuna23]

You can also do this legitimately without commands, like I did. Not sure what your point is lol

[@learntodrawwithnoah5612]

@@BumblebeeTuna23 yeah i am just really bad at finding things so i made a new world and used dev commands

[@JustJayJustMe]

What if you were to deactivate the gun right before it gets shot

[@spaceiscoolforever51]

I was about to comment that this was an actual subnatica feature not mod but this guy knows

[@moebiusbedroon4542]

And all I wanted was a crashed ship on the shore.... thanks saved me a restart !

[@TheGreatSeraphim]

Well not surprised since when you leave the planet you exit through as massive debris field.
