What if the Aurora Landed in the Void?

[@TheLastBacon]

Ok, something SUPER important I didn't explain well in the vid - in this "theory", I'm assuming the Aurora crashes relatively close off the edge of the void and thus, most of the lifepods would still land relatively close to their current positions. The main reason for this is that if the ship lands far out, I'm pretty sure it's just game-over for everyone :)

[@lynkcrafter8923]

@@GWflips not necessarily, see after you go so far out they stop attacking you, and then its just ocean. Depending on how far away the Aurora crashed its possible that the survivors would just be starved to death, but not eaten by big mouth over there. And dont say anything about the provisions in the life pod, even if everyone made the decision to give all of their supplies to one person and let themselves starve, which would never occur, people are selfish, the one survivor with all of the water and nutrient blocks would still run out of sustenance before anyone could arrive, and if sunbeam tried to pick up, well, it wouldn't, they would one get destroyed, but even if they were too far away for the laser to hit, there wouldn't be any land for them to be on

Imagine having this as some sort of hardmode: - There would be significantly less fragments scattered around (since the Aurora wouldn't loose as much stuff in the crater when just passing over it instead of crashing directly into it. Plus at least lore-wise it's said that the explosion broke off even more fragments off the ship) - Instead of having the crash zone, we would have another biome....Maybe going with the theory that before the crash at this place there was the initial "home biome" of the reapers. Or how about going with the theory of there being a direct tunnel to the lava zone that the dragons used to lure reapers down (so occasionally you would have 1-2 sea dragons strolling around rather close to the safe shallows) - Your endgoal after curing the virus would be to go out into the void and locate the Aurora so you can get the blueprints for the rocket.Of course, to make exploring the void more interesting (and more possible), there would be a hugh part of the void where you wouldn't just get chased down by ever respawning ghosts. Though instead you would find a few more biomes there with even bigger leviathans the deeper you get. Those void-biomes would still be almost empty ressource-wise, but there would be more Aurora fragments the closer you get to it. So you could get food and materials from those (maybe even a few new tools/ vehicles to stand a better chance against the new threads)

I really dig this idea. The only thing I would want out of this is, instead of crashing straight into the void, it comes to a stop right on the edge.

This way, you have time to gather everything from it and nothing really changes gameplay wise too much. Only difference would be a new Biome opening up, or more expanded ones ( I think the crash zone is just more safe shallows that lead into dunes). It would be a neat little twist.

A little resolution to this What if: In Below Zero we learn from a log (or more some sort of a news-letter), that the Sunbeam sended a transmission to Alterra regarding the emergency signal of the Aurora and their position, before their rescue attempt. Although it would have taken 6 months from the nearest position to get there, Alterra actually was preparing a mission to 4546b to salvage the Aurora if possible, rescue possible survivors, if the Sunbeam with their little ship and ressources couldnt help as much as they wanted to, and of course overtake all value discoveries from the planet, before anyone else could (which soothed the paniced investors for the lost ship and made them actually even happy for the dicovery of the promising new world 4546b, which ultimately lead to Below Zero, even if Ryley didnt get to building his rescue rocket).

Another point to support Ryley being able to get off 4546b is that it might not even be Alterra ships that eventually comes to pick him up. Some other smaller vessels passing close by the system could pick up the Aurora’s distress beacon like the Sunbeam did, or Alterra may even contract some of these smaller vessels to investigate the Aurora’s last known position, resulting in them eventually landing on the planet and rescuing Ryley.

Another thing to consider, when the ships reactor explodes (which would probably still happen in this version of events), she is leaking radiation and radioactive material into the ocean. Without the player character to repair the reactor, The wreck of the Aurora could’ve become just as big a plague on the planets environment is the actual plague we become infected with in game.

Cool vid. Some things I also thought were worth noting. 1: the captains assistant and many of the crew members would be safe. The reapers surrounding the crash zone would likely not be there, and from what the PDAs tell us, one lifepod was taken out and was killed by a reaper, and the captains assistant as well as the lady who landed in the blood kelp zone were also killed by the crash zone reaper after they decided to go to the aurora after no one met up on the randesvous point (the floating island). Likely, Rylee would have been able to acquire a sea moth and further, likely have been able to meet about 3 people on the island in order to survive together. They likely would have had a better time on the planet, however, their inability to access the aurora would mean that they almost 100% couldn’t get to the sea emperor to cure kharaar (and thus would die from infection). Also, I’m pretty sure Marguerite is from the first game, and she was now in below zero. Law suggests that she stayed afloat on a leviathans back in the void in order to float over to the arctic area (which is badass) but her ability to have been in below zero would have been up to question, and the kharars impact may have stopped below zero from happening as a whole.

[@TheLastBacon]

I don’t know if you will see this, as I am many months behind, but what would you want to see in a third Subnautica game? Personally, I’d call it Subnautica 3: Open Ocean. I think we could REALLY expand on the depth. Ten thousand meters sounds perfect! Having all the creatures from the current two games, as well as a bunch more (especially some MASSIVE Cthulhu level leviathans) would be so cool! I think what would be cool for the intro is that we play as a completely new character who willingly went to 4546B (unlike Ryley) and successfully landed (unlike Robin) and then we have to find and research a whole bunch of stuff with our tools. Then, a Precursor destroys our escape and our base and takes our equipment for their studies, leaving us for the REAL survival to begin. The end goal is to discover all of the creatures and have a final research report, but along the way we find out about the bacteria, Sunbeam, Degasi, Aurora, Mercury 2, and the crew in sector zero, as well as a lot about the precursors. Once we construct our rocket, Alterra won’t let us leave until we convince a Precursor to come back with us, which would require a giant battle down at the ten thousand meter mark in a giant precursor base with an arena! We could have an upgraded Prawn or Cyclops, sure, but I think the main attraction should be what I call “The Ultimate Voyager” (very creative I know). This submarine would have living quarters, lots of storage, relaxation areas, research stations, fabrication chambers, and of course, the driving section. I think it should allow us to store two reinforced Cyclops subs, one of which has a reinforced Seamoth and the other with a reinforced Prawn, and then we can descend in smaller ships if we like. We could get ionic weapon systems from a Precursor base and install them in our sub, allowing us to take down a creature similar to the garg leviathan but more dangerous, which would guard the final area. At the end, it would be neat to see Alterra and The Precursors making peace, but Alterra plans to betray them, setting us up for Subnautica 4: Alterra’s Downfall. I have so many more ideas and I doubt any of this would ever happen, as it would be WAYYYYY too tasking for Unknown Worlds, but I think the concepts are cool! :3
