in my opinion you shouldn't be able to fix the communications relay all the way without certain mats or equipment, or be able to get into the communications room in the aurora to rebroadcast a new distress message
ether way i find the scenario is contestable
Ehm i found Aurora Scanner room,it is a wreck on Mushroom tree
Maybe the main character is a mute. Communications Relays might have a 50 km range which would help with communicating with any potential survivors, but not about warning the Sunbeam. Therefore, the only reasonable solution would be repairing the Communication Systems on the Aurora, but that is likely under a ton of wreckage and inaccessible. Another solution would be using the Terraformer in the Safe Shallows to write a message to the Sunbeam, but that depends on the scanning resolution of the Sunbeam which is likely not good enough since it is a six-seater starship.
Seems doubtful and even if he was....texting.
EDIT: Main reason I said doubtful was because A: Advanced medicine and B: There is 0 proof of this and if your proof is that he never speaks doesn't make sense as there is no one to speak to.
Step 1) Kill a reaper
Step 2) curve its body into an "SOS"
the isolation of it is far worse if you think about it from the characters perspective. I wonder if there is a way to do it more powerfully though, I mean subnautica does it as well as anyone else does, just wonder. Even coming home to an empty house and not leaving for a few days does things to you, what would that really do to a survivor?
Sorry, a bit of random musings, thanks for indulging me.
After the big 1.0 I could see this being an achievement: Being able to beat the race against time and send a message to them to turn back, and that approaching the planet isn't safe nets you an achievement, while failing to do so either yields nothing or gives a secondary achievement.
Your character can just type up the message or even have your AI send it. He doesn't need to voice it himself.
aye that is true however i cant see why you couldn't warn them before they got too close/ within range of the gun as you get the message from the sunbeam too soon so for your character (or a new player with no knowledge) to know about the infection and know where the gun is
however it is known (your character does know) that the Aurora sustained damage within orbit from an unknown device
Or just repair some console in the depths of the Aurora and use that to broadcast a "Hey disregard that distress signal guys, there's something on this planet that doesn't want us here and it brought down a really big starship in the process - so stay away!" message to them. You don't even need to know about the anti-air platform or try to access it to know that there was something on the planet that brought you down.
If there's going to be multiple endings, I could see allowing the Sunbeam to approach contributing to a 'Bad' ending and being able to deter them from approaching contributing to a 'Good' one. However they approach these endings though, there might not be a Good/Bad sort of ending system and it might just boil down to a "Do you want to stay or leave?" sort of decision.
In any case, I'm continuing to advocate for an option - even if it's a real hard to accomplish one - of being able to actually influence the game's events and save lives where you were unable to do so with the Aurora crew. We've got a chance to do so here, it'd be a shame to have it slip by.
