@@noahpilarski It has never been confirmed that the star is in a multiple star system (two or more stars in relatively close enough proximity by space standards to orbit each other), so there would be no need for using such designation unless there was another star outside 4546A in the system.
Imagine being a Reaper living in the Crash Zone, peacefully being a terror upon everything below you on the food chain. Then out of literal nowhere, a giant ship many times your size craters you into the sea floor.
I think the lore is that the area was part safe shallows (where also the last degasi base resides, seen in the trailer), part something else and that it got upended once the Aurora crashed into it, making it a perfect hunting ground for reapers and the sound of the crash attracting reapers as well
@@the_steamtrain1642 one of 2 things A) it was a Reaper nest ( this is the one i believe ) B) the Reapers are almost blind and hunt by sound, so the aurora crashing caught their attention ( the most likely one )
Im assuming the reason why it's so round is to make it aerodynamic, reducing the massive drag that would affect the giant vessel when leaving a planet's atmosphere.
There's plenty to learn! It's a little bit confusing finding out the correct order of the pre-game events as well, some of the info seems to conflict with each other
I'd love a video about the PDA/lore and data found inside of the Aurora. It's kind of sad when you read them/listen to them knowing that those people are gone.
Scary to think some of the crew stuck inside the Aurora where eaten by the cave crawlers and worst of all the life pods we don't find in the crater probably landed in the void...
@@blurbysirif the glavity is strong enough to pull the aurora down, it wont have any difficulties pulling the lifepods down. Espesially since aurora in already on a crash course.
On 5:15 i noticed something. You say that the blood leechers and cave crawlers are what ate the people, however you forgot to mention that the reapers were also what the pda was mentioning.
When you look at the Aurora from the bottom or top, It looks a whole heck of a lot smaller then it normally does, usually you're seeing it from the sides, and it looks huge, but when you get the full scope, you realize, its not THAT huge, its still pretty big, but, really, especially after its blown up, its pretty small looking.
And many hallways are absolutely massive. I would say they were made for Prawn movement if the doorways were not people sized. I wouldn't mind seeing a deckplan as there seems to a lot of wasted space.
I just realized. The are Cave Crawlers on the Aurua. They are land creatures that don't go into the water. Does this mean the Aurora Crashed landed on an island?
Ummmm... The last I checked there are Cave Crawlers in the water in some places. Found a bunch next to a wreck site nearby a Reaper with a pair of Warpers.
@@lockskelington314 that hole was actually for sea dragons to hunt reapers, it was there pre-aurora in lore. At least, that was the lore in early access. The hole was removed very early on, even before the islands were added
Just a small correction, that those 85 people on board are actually people assigned to build the phase gate, which is the main reason Aurora was sent into space for.
for the people wondering the reapers did not be there in the first place the reapers living in sandy and deep areas so they were not at the crash site, and if your saying “then how did the reapers get there so fast” Riley could of been passed out for hours or days because of his head trauma from the metal impact.
SPOILER WARNING!!! Press click more to view spoilers: VVVVVV It was going near 4546B to create a Phasegate as it's primary mission but it's secondary mission was to potentially save the Degasi which crashed on 4546B and when they went closer the enforcement platform shot them down (There is more lore but I don't wanna have to spend an hour typing, just go to the Subnautica wiki and search stuff like the Degasi and the Aurora)
@@Meowy15 I am confused in there, wouldn't they get the same "warnings" as the sunbeam? and they only impacted it when it was actually seen but in the game,s loading screen we see it STILL ON OUTER SPACE YET with damages done and crashing down

Finally a video on the Aurora! Felt like something was missing. I love this type of video, got any more of them coming? You made many already, perhaps about the Alien structures?
technology really has advanced huh, just look at the detail and paint job in that aurora miniature, its almost as if the designers downsized a model of the aurora
5:55 That 1 person is actually Marguerit Maida, it says that there is Personnel unaccounted for: Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief Ryley Robinson
I got a question about how many enforcement cannons are there on 4546 B. As there must be more around the planet for coverage so the virus doesn't escape the planet.
Wasn't the Aurora shot twice actually? Struck once and once you escape via lifepod it gets shot again? I feel like that would explain the second explosion heard right after escaping- plus I'm pretty sure the sound that plays is the same as the Q.E.P firing at the Sunbeam ship. Edit: Nvm, just heard you mention that.
If you guys didn't know the miniature model WAS A GREAT IDEA..... WHY?! SO YOU CAN KNOW WHAT THE AURORA LOOK LIKE BEFORE IT CRASHED WE JUST NEED A MODEL OF THE DEGASI AND SUNBEAM I'd be fine staying here NO TAXES TO PAY TODAY
Umm sorry to be a it of nerd but seamoth and prawn suit weren't just for the rescue mission, Seamoth is also a space vehicle (possibly for finding Asteroids) and prawn suit is great at mining the asteroids, i don't thino that they were stocker with EVERYTHING for the gate so they would need a bit of mining, soop yeah (also its stated that every big spaceship has at least 2 seamoths)
Ihdk why most of the sub nautica community dont know that the reapers are attracted by noise, especially ultra high, or ultra low frequencies, they were probably attracted to the crash site because of the noise and vibration in the water, the impact of the Aurora on the planet caused.
given that the aurora is crashed, it's clear that they weren't just performing a gravity maneuver, and were landing instead. so, the quarantine enforcement platform notices that the aurora has slowed down to land, and shoots the ship to destroy it. if the platform shot them during a slingshot maneuver, the aurora would be a wreck in space.

Thanks Questioningbasics! I appreciate all the support :)
I do wonder why the Aurora came so close to 4546B in the first place.. would be cool to get some backstory on what mission it was on!
I believe it’s mission was to construct a new phase gate but had a secondary mission to find the deggasi
It was actually looking for Degasi survivors whilst on its way to build a phase gate further out in the galaxy :)

There is only 1! The efp uses gravity to slingshot its rounds at ships in orbit.
4:18 that is probably because they are attracted to metal like sharks are
i have server megalophobia and thalassophobia so subnautica is perfect for me :)
my favorite early aurora design is probably 9:09

Do not delete the drive core room it looks a nightmare in there
Reapers live in the Aurora now because of the sound and light that attracted it.
