Can I stop the sunbeam from getting destroyed? ›

The Sunbeam's Failed Rescue

Upon the destruction of the Sunbeam flaming debris can be seen descending from the sky, but no wreck results from its destruction. This tragedy can be avoided if the player somehow manages to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform before the Sunbeam arrives.

Yes, technically. You have to trigger the game flags for the event that allows you to cure the Kharaa and deactivate the gun but even if you do that they'll say they're unable to park due to the debris field around the planet and will send a well-meaning but ultimately meaningless message to Alterra to rescue you.

Can The Quarantine Enforcement Platform Be Deactivated Before The Sunbeam Arrives? Despite being quite challenging to do before the ship arrives, yes, it is indeed possible to deactivate the laser cannon on the Quarantine Enforcement Platform in time to save the Sunbeam.

Following the loss of the Sunbeam, the player is encouraged to explore the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, the large tower responsible for destroying the vessel. Upon approaching it, they will discover the Forcefield Control, a machine that requires a purple tablet to activate.

Other crew members of the Sunbeam escape via Lifepod, but Avery Quinn and the Sunbeam are both eaten by the Leviathan before reaching the ocean.

No, what he means is the devs never meant for it to be saving you. Its a part of the story thats supposed to build up hope for a rescue only to have it taken away from you. The only way off the planet is with the rocket that the Alltera folks send the plans for to the Aurora.

You weren't about to beat the game, at that point, trust me: that ship is never supposed to land, so, even if you deactivated the gun before their arrival, the game would have used another excuse (debris in the orbit of the planet) to not let it land; you have a good way to go before you finish the main story.

During the end of Subnautica, Ryley finally leaves 4546b. As anyone who loves cuddlefish will tell you, interacting with the cuddlefish before you go makes him give a tender goodbye. The planet just isn't right for humans, and Ryley can't stay.

There is only one official ending - the escape. But, that is purely an option. If you don't want to leave after being cured, that is up to you, though majority will play through to the end.

It actually is possible to beat the game without the Cyclops and instead use the Prawn Suit, but it might be even more of a hassle, as it has less storage space and moves much more slowly (unless you're skilled with the grappling arm).

The player must cure themselves of the Kharaa Bacterium before being able to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform and leave the planet.

Subnautica. Is it possible to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform BEFORE you get infected, or do you become infected when you go in, no matter what? You get infected by the time you get there, even if it's the first thing you do. Only way to disable it is to get cured (which you can do before going to the QEP).
