That and the severe radiation in the hours (days? Weeks?) before you go patch the Drive Core. Also, I completely read your comment in Thor / Ragnarok / Korg voice.
@@jusros0792 Depends on your definition of suffering. You could theoretically survive the explosion if you were within certain parts of the ship, especially parts already in water. The water would insulate you from harms way, other areas you might get stuck on fire or even pass out from fumes. Even if you survived, if you didn't have a lead inline suit you would suffer from radiation poisoning. You would be increasingly fortunate to be very close to the drive core upon the explosion. At least then the suffering and pain wouldn't last but a second. Dying to reper would be more of a fear thing, suffering only for but a moment until eaten.
If 1-25 was on left side, that mean 26-50 was on right side, some lifepods landed 2km from aurora, because of that lifepods 26-50 would landed in crush zone and void, something of 15 would not be found, and 4-7 would drown because of broken flotation device, it gives 3-6 fine lifepods, but there comes reaper, ghost and by some theories gargantuan leviathans, even if someone manage to came to island, would be late or would be killed by reaper in their way to aurora (this was plan of Yu and second officer Keen when they meet on island, but they have been killed in their way to aurora)
And if they comes late anddecides to wait, they will loose hope that somebody make it and they will go explore and maybe survive they menage to meet Riley, or (on the island) they got bored waiting and go explore and because they dont know where is safe they would have ~75% if coming to dangerous place
According to what we see while playing and also the loading screen, didn't the Aurora get hit on the upper left engine? I know the port side lifepods (1-25) deployed, but how was the starboard side damaged more?
That’s actually kinda strange considering it says ALL personnel abandon ship in the intro scene but who knows maybe the life pods on the other side were bigger
You forgot something important. Anyone who was lucky enough to survive past the Radiation poisoning (they had a suit) and the Cave Crawlers (fended them off successfully, if multiple persons had knives and they kept in groups to slash up the critters before they could slash them) and the Kharaa bacterium (delayed reaction to symptoms because of minuscule differences in their immunity systems, which can only hold it off for a little longer) would all have been killed anyways when the front of the Aurora exploded because of the ship’s Nuclear Reactor becoming unstable due to the leak in the Drive Core. Ryley himself can be killed if he wanders into the Radiation zone by the ship, right before the explosion. How much worse it would be for anyone trapped inside the ship. I imagine they would be instantly vaporized.
The closest comparison would be battleships suffering a magazine explosion. In those cases there were survivors but they had lots of armour and unless they escaped the wreck or escaped they would be killed by fire / asphixiation. The Aurora would have no armour to speak of so the explosion would rip through the ships internals with a more devastating effect. If there were survivors of the crash they probably moved to the front of the ship to try and (unsuccessfully) stabilise the core.
it had 0.25 cubic kilometers of storage, which is bonkers. Clearly it was a mass hauling vessel, which have much smaller populations because there aren't many passengers if any, and you only need the people running the ship, which could be done 90% from control rooms.
By my probably flawed calculations, the Aurora is approx. 1280m long, a third as wide and 400m tall, -100m for the bridge. As the ship is an ellipsoid it has about 107.2 million m3 in volume spread across what looks like six decks. Let’s say that the accessible area for a crew member is a quarter and the rest is for the phasegate and other cargo, leaving 26.8 million m3 for crew. With only a crew of 148, this means that this is a skeleton crew or the ship is so advanced there doesn’t need to be that many people onboard. Since the ship only has quarters for 150 as per the ship’s PDA entry, the latter is likely the case. On a ship this large and only 157 people onboard, each person has more than 181,000 m3 to themselves. To say that they were tripping over each other is egregious. They might not even have seen another person until reaching the life-pods. I have to say, it is rather strange that a ship this big only has 148 crew. Modern naval ships nowhere near the size of the Aurora have up to 400 crew. And it’s not like this is a simple cargo ship, this is a top of the line capital ship, supposedly on a self-contained, three year mission. At least looking at it this way, Ryley’s title of Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief means he is the person in charge of Non-essential systems maintenance and not a redundant crew member since Alterra Cleary hates redundancy. Speaking of redundancy, with only 50 life-pods onboard and 2 people per pod, only 100 people could safely escape the Aurora in case of an, this much is obvious. However, as you pointed out in the video, there are going to be pods that leave at non-capacity, and pods that could experience a malfunction, massive gun or not. That means that even a minimum of 75 pods isn’t enough since at the time of the game, there were 9 extra passengers onboard. Really a ship this large needs at least 25% more life-pods than max capacity spread out over the ship so that they are more accessible and less likely to experience a collective catastrophe. But, you have to admire the ship’s ventilation systems. From where I’m sitting, this game was rigged from the start.
my really low effort hypotesis is that the crew has only the job of maintenance and basic control on the machinery. The rest is done by the ship itself and thus you don't need that many people.... ofcourse the pod number argument is right, we have to consider even the case of the ship rescuing others and so the number of people that can be onboard could rise a lot.
The only thing I hate, is we see this massive ship go inside and only see a quarter of it. It would be so cool to be able to go the thruster area. Or control area where they drove the aurora.
I think that it would have been cool if an expansion was added to subnautica that gave the players much more of the aurora to explore, maybe even giving the destroyed bridge section its own interior or life pod launch bays or more lore surrounding the players character in his quarters or in various pdas where we finally get to hear him speak, even if it’s only a recording. Honestly the aurora is such a key piece of the story of subnautica that feels almost forgotten. There is so much in the ship we’ve never seen before. Not only the cut off back half, but also the front most section that got blown to bits when the aurora explodes.
Since khaara is present in the water, the Aurora was compromised the instant it made contact with the surface. There is a slight chance that the khaara is also airborne, which would have rendered the ship compromised in the event of a single minute hull breach
The bacterium itself might not be airborne, but the Aurora would likely have kicked up a ton of water vapour and spray into the air on impact, meaning a good number of water droplets would probably be breathed in by survivors
I think it’s very likely most of this is true especially since it says the cave crawlers have human tissues in their digestive track so there had to have been some survivors
@@joeburnover4110 I don't think the PDA has that far of a range. It only plays the messages when you get in the designated areas, which I know is for gameplay but I also took it as it having limited scanning ability. So it would have to be talking about the cave crawlers - the message only play once you're nearly inside the Aurora
The PDA has no way of knowing if those people the cave crawlers ate were alive at the time. Given how many must have died in the crash, and the lack of any corpses, I would suggest the cave crawlers likely simply scavenged the dead.
@@samanthal.8947 "detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the area" plays when entering one of the biomes even when you cant see or hear them, meaning they aren't near you
With the crackling of fires and the creaking of metal, I doubt the cave crawlers knew there were survivors, until the survivors happened upon them feasting on the bodies of their crewmates. Thinking about that makes me uneasy. Not seeing an unknown approaching, but a confirmed predator that already has a taste for human flesh.
@@Cringemoment4045Alterra could have easily forgiven his debt when he gets back and tells them he found and Stabilized a very mineral rich world unclaimed put under Alterra’s control. Most likely our boy Ripley is ok. Also the system doing the tracking is to prevent waste of materials which could easily be waved when he gets back to a safe planet. Remember Altera highly values people who invent new things making them board members. Ripley demonstrated excellent survival skills. Alterra would not waste him by dumping him into debters prison
@@CASA-dy4vs Yeah km isn't all that much But for a vessel that's enormous Most of the largest ships currently are only 400 meters long And keep in mind in star trek sure they might be 400 meters long But the aurora I'd 800 meters more At 1.2 km That's way more and again for any sort of manmade object that's absolutely massive So imagine you take a ship from star trek that's 400m Now add on the tallest building in the world The Burj Khalifa And you'll have around the same length as the aurora
It is hard to believe that no one on the ship would have survived, at least until the explosion, because there is a lot less food and water than there should be on board
@@garyslayton8340 That is true, and once the player repairs the Drive Core leaks, there would be a lot less radiation in the area, making it safer to travel and that paired with new pathways opened up with the explosion may mean people could eventually make it out and while they may loose more people to the Reapers, could make it to the Safe Shallows, especially if they could find some intact/easily patched up vehicles that can work underwater, which we do know exist with things like the Prawn Suits being found onboard. And once in the Safe Shallows they'd likely come across signs of the player and more importantly the young Sea Emperors (Assuming this is after we leave 4546B), allowing them access to Enzyme 42, so the disease problem would be solved. After that it would only be a matter of time until either rescue comes or the construction of additional Neptune Escape Rockets, possibly even reusing some of our abandoned structures, resources, and possibly even data to do so.
When you get on the Aurora for the first time after it exploded the pda says "research shows their are parts of human tissues scattered around" something similar along those lines.
I mean even if anyone lived long enough to see it they were all on a timer anyway. I imagine that the drive core exploding as we witness from outside would’ve killed anyone left alive in there.
Remember that when you are about to enter the aurora your PDA says that the organisms in the ship had human tissue in their digestive systems, so statistically speaking it's almost certain
The funny thing is the pawnsuts still survived after the explosion there might have been a chance to tank the explosion and never touch the water and bacteria.
The lifepods could most likely be filled with up to 3-4 people, but the 1 or 2 not sitting on one of the seats would most likely die or get injured from the splashdown.
If you lay flat like falling on a free fall elevator you would probably survive since your bodies increased surface area would disperse a lot of the impact evenly
The scanner surely can’t go past certain materials in the hull since the pda would be using the life pods less powerful scanners unlike the auroras scanners which probably would be able to penetrate every material
The possibility that some of the crew survived the initial crash is likely, but the precense of the reapers most likely killed many who tried to escape. The rest most likely succumbed to the smoke inhalation and the chances that any of them got off the ship and survived the entire game is about 0 due to Warpers confirming through likely scanning that the player is is the only survivor unaccounted for, meaning the other survivors most likely died. (Side note, the warpers obviosily didn’t scan sector zero so the only way another survived is if somehow a pod was jettisoned above sector zero.)
he covered the smoke inhalation...if you had been paying any attention idiot... further more...warpers were able to scout the entire planet...as they would been spread farther then realized
I'mma be real, Alterra made the Aurora really well, it took two shots from the QEP, managed to still land mostly intact (partly thanks to the captain), The ship had enough ventilation that the smoke was manageable despite being a space ship, A large amount of the systems were still functional despite the entire front quarter of the haul being blasted off by the quantum detonation. The PDA did exactly as it should have in emergency mode, it managed to keep someone alive if they were lucky enough to not land somewhere dangerous, and, most likely, I'm willing to bet that the 1 trillion credit debt was waved away, most likely just being put on Riley by an automated system, and most likely would have been waved away due to the technology the rocket brought back (the ion power cells and such) as well as the knowledge that Riley would have brought back, both from personal experience, but also from scan data or downloaded data. I also, personally, ignore how Alterra is presented in Below Zero because nothing is confirmed about the bio-weapon stuff, and in the first game, some of the documents you can find show that a majority of the citizens have a pretty good life, almost everyone is employed and their basic needs are met unless they literally actively fight against that, their skills are put to use in jobs that most people seem to somewhat enjoy, everyone has access to food and water as they need, housing is plentiful between space ships, stations, and planets.
0:58 not times 50, only 25. The black box reports that the starboard pods were hit directly by the blast so only 25 launched. There is a copy of the Black Box entry on the wiki.
Based on the lack of fall damage, the best hope was to get in a PRAWN before the crash. Then just walk your way out and go for a stroll to find the lifepods.
Why those lifepods only sit 2 people is beyond me, you could easily fit 4 people each, maybe even 6 if that damn future space radio wasn't so freaking big it takes most of a wall.
@@GregoryMcStevens Thinking about it again, I'm actually going to go on my own theory. We can assume that since there's little actual radiation around Aurora prior to the drive core's meltdown that the drive core was almost entirely intact (PDA does say it was damaged). I'm going to go guess that Aurora was likely full throttle prior to her shoot down, and that the drive core was left on that full throttle during and after the crash. Assuming that the coolant leaked out due to the crash, I'm going to say that the reactor suffered a LOCA and overheated, causing a Chernobyl-like explosion. So it's entirely possible that radiation levels stayed in the "not great, not terrible" zone until the meltdown, and that Aurora was indeed the safest place on 4546B, again until the meltdown. Edit: I believed that there was no radiation around the intact wreck, but upon checking after writing this I was wrong.
Im sure the ones whit radiation suit shoud stand for longer than that but dyng by the drive core detonation after day 3-5 Its imposibel form any one inside of it to survive sinse we can see fire gasp go around the entire ship, whit that a huge amount of the fire went trow all the halls and rooms, maybe the ones loked inside some rooms may stand a chanse of surviving the explosion but ending traped for the doors damage or halls covers on debrids
Not particularly for Subnautica though. If you remember from Below Zero, the Mercury II tanked a shot from the QEP and landed intact enough to (with repairs) attempt an emergency launch. It was the second shot that tore it apart. Degasi also apparently landed intact enough for the 3 survivors to cannibalize it. So far the only ship to not survive the QEP and crash fairly intact was the Sunbeam, which as you know was disintegrated by the shot.
My guess is that the guys who got radiation suits managed to survive until the explosion so maybe the pda malfunctioned and couldn't verify the leftovers inside the Aurora...
also thanks to certain effects life pods on one side of the aurora could not be launched thus only half of the life pods were launched and only two successfully survived decent and deployed floatation devices, 10 findable, 40 life pods lost due to atmospheric entry or lost to the void also this has to happen in about 3 hours as that's when riley Robinson (Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief) (Chief janitor) wakes up after being knocked out by a system panel
If this was the case, i still can't get this thought out of my mind. That is, if the survivors died inside of Aurora, why can't we find their bodies? Or, i guess..... Maybe their bodies are evaporated by the nuclear blast 😂
Well, to keep the game more advertiser friendly, they had to make the fish bleed green, so I don't think they would get rid of that by putting corpses into the game
Well, this would likely be false. In order to land on the crater (keep in mind, the crater which it landed on is EXTREMELY small) you would need some serious stopping force. Looking at how curved the front of the ship is, it would have an even harder time stopping quickly. It likely didnt land in the crag field, since the front looks relatively undamaged to have landed in such a rocky and low area. While the captain did a controlled descent, a controlled and survivable landing would be near impossible. Unless VTOL was used (which is unlikely, since you cant see any downwards engines in the poster of the Aurora) this thing would be going nearly straight down to land in such a distance that it did. You also can find that unanchored items are still in the middle of the floor, which would either mean they were launched straight down, or they lost momentum slowly with the ship- but to lose momentum slowly, you need a lobg runway, which was not an option. It very likely reached near its terminal velocity going down. Even going on the low end and saying it hit the ground at 100 km/h descent, you still would be royally f*cked if you were inside. This thing is made of almost pure titanium. It would pretty much shatter and absorb practically no impact force. The only reason plane crashes almost always have survivors is because number one- the plane still is at a decent rate of descent, even right as it crashes- and two, planes are made of a material that can absorb the impact instead of the people inside taking the brunt of the damage. The Aurora would have had neither. Even assuming you did somehow survive the initial impact, you would suffocate. The Aurora wouldn't have had good ventilation. It's in space, with no air outside- it can't afford to let air out. What's more likely is, they grab the Co2 you breathe out, and take out the carbon. The excess carbon would be used to power the engines, and oxygen would be pumped out for you to breath again. So yes, GLADoS, we will be breathing in the same room of air for the rest of our life. But point is, that system would need energy- so once the ship has no energy, you have no air being made, and would likely suffocate. The only reason it has good ventilation when we go in is probably because of the *massive gaping hole in the front.*
PDA literally tells you 0 life signs detected when you regain consciousness. Not sure if you were paying attention but the ship exploding after you eject in your life pod was violent enough to seriously damage your lifepod. The concussive force most definitely killed them. And I have no doubt that if the detonation and crash impact did get them the radiation most certainly got did considering how quickly you die going near the Aurora without a radiation suit.
Riley also likely woke up hours after his pod crashed down, since he was knocked out by the loose panel. This could explain the fact that there were no survivors. The rest of the damage could be attributed to Aurora chunks possibly hitting the pod during descent and after landing (Lifepod 17 was almost hit by the Seamoth Bay on the way down, so it's not improbable).
Pda mentioning the cave crawlers genuinely scarred me. I thought they are eaten alive by them or they already died due to second explosion some time after the crash
Uh there are some things that make it unlikely for the crew and passengers to have survived, first is the explosion seen in the intro wether or not it's from the gun doesn't really matter i think most died through that and the impact possibly would have killed even more and with the surface explosion i can see it being impossible for there being any survivors on the aurora post surface explosion.. so changes are they never even got hit by the crabs, the radiation or the karaa
.....your theory...is about as useless as can be...first off it was the Q.E.P (quarentine enforcement platform) was the first innitial explosion, firing off and hitting aurora, then as ryley got in the lifepod and escaped you could (in the beginning cutscene for the game) see another blast from the q.e.p hit the ship thus that would have further damaged the life pods..then the ship crashing into the ocean wouldve injured some people but if they were told to brase then they wouldve brased for impact with the water, many of the humans wouldve eventually died due to the radiation...the karaa then you got the reactor eplosion which would lesslikely killed the crew...the crawlers wouldve eventually killed what ever was left...then the crawlers would been the final remaining living creatures on board
@kyutogreyfox4292 the gun is the enforcement platform, thus that part still stands, further most if not all lifepods that got off either sunk or were torn open before the explosion. Further an impact from orbit with a vehicle the tonnage of the aurora would mean a very high ammount of g's(wich wil be in exces of 50g(wich is the lethal ammount)) meaning they could have gone through walls(wich noting the materials used wil also mean if people get launched they wil end up as minced meat) Thus it still stands that most if not all other people outside riley would not survive before the front hull explosion... Given the excesses the crew had to endure that only 1 person survived is very low(give or take the chance that current humanity would find another earth we actually cán get to within a generation before hyperdrive systems)
@@stijnVDA1994 though you make an interesting point, if they had braced just in a nick of time, even the worst of a crash can be survived, when one is braced enough, and a ship crashing on planet, is very survivable though the odds are very low, it still shows to some extent that during riley being knocked out, the ship crashing some of the remaineder would atleast have survived long enough, as surviving through the radiation is managable same for the crash, though the creatures getting in wouldve caused some minor problems and the ship having been flooded and burning...crew more likely would been alive atleast a tiny number of survivors..though riley was long unconsious for awhile, then several days on planet...eventually these crewmen, would been killed by the explosion..some probably would been near the nuclear reactor trying to fix it or contain the fallout...only to end up dying due to the explosion..you gotta think...they were in space still by the time the second beam hit the hull...thus the ship wouldve eventually sustain vacuum in that sector of the ship, thus any hope of escape is null&void at that point, but, some could have survived before the explosion...just been trying to stop any hazards like a nuclear fallout or something like that...
@@kyutogreyfox4292 the nig difference is that riley got knocked out because of a damaged plate sitting in a life pod, and only people seated in a pod wich were only single digit numbers that have not broken up in orbit in total meaning that it still would lower the numbers to fractions so small that at best only one person might survive.. so expect a 0.0000000000001% initial survival..
This also isn’t to mention that if most of the crew was still alive after planet fall, they would mostly have been wiped out because of the quantum detonation of the drive core.
1:58 I don’t think the captain died. However, when the massive explosion happened pretty much everyone died. The radiation was expanding and trapped everyone inside they cannot leave because it was too dangerous. I imagined that the crew tried to stop the breach, but it was damaged beyond repair eight hours later dark matter fusion exploded.
Barely anyone noticed this but why he said about people in the life pods he there was 1.57 basically one and a half of someone where was the other half
That's a percentage. Some lifepods had two people, some only had one. on average, each lifepod had at least one person and a roughly 50% chance to have another
With the size of the ship, I am honestly surprised that people shared living areas, the ship is definitely big enough for a separate living space for all 157 passengers. Even if 90% of it contains cargo and the inner workings
I think there were survivors inside, maybe those at the top of the ship, but then it exploded so they either died because of the explosion or by the radiation
It sucks that there aren’t bodies or bones at all in subnautica. I feel like most things would be much more devastating looking if there were actual signs of death
short answer no well 25 life pods were damaged out of fifty, 25 life pods 1.5 average per life pod is about 38 people 157 negative 38 is about 120 the ship was moving about 500 metres per second in the trailer clip of it crashing accounting for angle it moved about 2.5 auroras long or about 2750 metres, and the clip is about 3 seconds long, 2750 divided by 4 gives us 687. a 687 metre per second crash would instantly kill anyone, in this instance lets just say they magically survive, now they are about 500 metres away from a massive nuclear reactor, estimating riley takes 3 hours to wake up plus about 3-5 days until the explosion, in three to five days they would have to fight radiation, fire , navigate a 1200 metre smoke filled ship, reapers and leave the crash zone, which i dont think many would make it, and this is saying if they aren't sent into a wall at 600 metres per second turning them into noodles. i didn't include cave crawlers because they wouldn't be on the ship until the explosion
but yet its conceivable that at the time of the player's departure someone could still be alive in the back of the ship,while blocked it appears mostly undamaged
I’m making a sort of like animated short movie about the aurora being leaving the space dock then going through the hoops and like people talking to each other and socializing, and of course, insulting the main character you play as in the main game saying that he is a loser or a person that wasn’t or why is he on here type guy? I just don’t know how to animate. Definitely not going to use source film maker.
My question is, can you surbive there after repairong the reactors? Can you put a fabricator on a wall in the captain's quarters? Can you build a base in the reactor room or prawn bay?
Technically, Ryley owns nothing, since he was under employer Alterra labor responsability and also on state of necessity, so he was entitled to use whatever means necessary to survive Under labor law, an employer is generally responsible for the safety and well-being of their employees, particularly in hazardous situations. This principle is embedded in the concept of duty of care, which obliges the employer to take reasonable steps to protect employees from foreseeable risks. In the case of Ryley, since the accident occurred during his employment with Alterra, the company would be responsible for his safety and, by extension, any survival measures he had to take as a result of the shipwreck. Given the state of necessity and the employer's duty of care, Ryley’s use of any available resources on the ship to ensure his survival could be legally justified. In civil law, this would likely fall under the principle of necessitas non habet legem ("necessity has no law"), which excuses the appropriation of property in dire situations where human life is at stake. Under these legal principles, Ryley would not owe Alterra any compensation for the resources used to survive. The employer’s responsibility for the employee’s safety during a work-related incident, combined with the justification of a state of necessity, would negate any claims Alterra might have regarding the use of their property. Ryley acted within his rights to preserve his life, and legally, he would be protected from any financial obligation to Alterra arising from this incident. Ryley is legally justified in using whatever means were necessary to survive the shipwreck. Alterra, as his employer, had a duty to ensure his safety, and the principle of the state of necessity protects Ryley from any claims for compensation. Therefore, Ryley owes nothing to Alterra under these circumstances.
When you board the Aroura, the PDA states that the Cave Crawlers have been consuming human remains. So they literally ate every single body on the ship.
Do you know what pisses me off the most about this game? It's that in the prawn suit Bay there's like four basically mint prawn suits where you basically could have just put them all together into one without having to craft it. Like bruh gimme
the PDA actually says that the organisms in the ship have human tissus in their digestive system. also, surviving a shock like that is more than a miracle, i mean, not everebody could actually take a lifepod just the fact they actually can run to lifepod is already a miracle, and so i assume most of them where not in a "safe postion" when this huge ship hit the ground at full speed, not being attached properly can kill you at 60 Km/h in car so, i think most of the crew looked more like hamburger than people.
couldnt have been 78 people that got on life pods as only 25 of them actually launched, black box data from the aurora itself says that the side that got hit by the gun destroyed the 25 pods that were on that side of the ship so only 25 could actually launch
I hsvent seen a single comment about this but wouldnt Riley see their corpses or skeletons after they died when Riley got onto the aurora after the explosion?
Let's face it: These poor saps probably would've had an easier time at Black Mesa or Apeture Science. Not necessarily surviving, but they probably would've died quicker.
@@ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τ3κwe should lowkey get a star citizen like game where we can buy big ships and go explore entire planets like star citizen and space engineers, might need a mid-high range pc and console but it would be better than nothing
lets not forget the 2 people who needlessly died because the one guy tried rigging a powercell to a seaglide to "increase efficiency" and exploded due to being overloaded.
Obviously, the developers didn't take into consideration the survivors of the crash. However, your video doesn't make sense either. The cave crawlers can only enter through holes that were made during the impact since there was no explosion. The crash wouldn't have created any holes because the material of the ship would have been pushed in. There would have been smaller fires since we can only enter after the explosion, and the fires would have been in earlier stages. They would know the reactor is out since there is no power in the ship when we enter it. Comparing the Aurora to a plane? The Aurora is around 10 times higher and 5 times longer compared to an average plane. The crash data is incorrect; not all planes crash land-they just crash. Also, the Aurora was doing atmospheric entry. If we take into account that it was crashing with an angle of attack of 20 degrees (with the belly of it), we also know that it had a heat shield to survive the atmospheric entry. That also means it is at the belly of the spacecraft
@ because if you go to developer mode and turn on unlock doors, you can open the doors and see that the gargantuan Leviathan ate all of the rooms in the doors you can't enter
Doesn't it take about a week for kharaa to kill someone? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the poor lads got killed in the explosion, not kharaa. I do understand the radiation though.
"Hmmm....interesting looks like some people might of survi-"

There would have been more potential survivors because lifepods 26 - 50 were too damaged from the QEP shot to launch

If 1-25 was on left side, that mean 26-50 was on right side,

And if they comes late anddecides to wait, they will loose hope that somebody make it and they will go explore and maybe survive they menage to meet Riley, or (on the island) they got bored waiting and go explore and because they dont know where is safe they would have ~75% if coming to dangerous place
According to what we see while playing and also the loading screen, didn't the Aurora get hit on the upper left engine? I know the port side lifepods (1-25) deployed, but how was the starboard side damaged more?
157 passengers
100 life pod berths
Looks like the White Star Line went back in business at some point.
That’s actually kinda strange considering it says ALL personnel abandon ship in the intro scene but who knows maybe the life pods on the other side were bigger

You forgot something important. Anyone who was lucky enough to survive past the Radiation poisoning (they had a suit) and the Cave Crawlers (fended them off successfully, if multiple persons had knives and they kept in groups to slash up the critters before they could slash them) and the Kharaa bacterium (delayed reaction to symptoms because of minuscule differences in their immunity systems, which can only hold it off for a little longer) would all have been killed anyways when the front of the Aurora exploded because of the ship’s Nuclear Reactor becoming unstable due to the leak in the Drive Core. Ryley himself can be killed if he wanders into the Radiation zone by the ship, right before the explosion. How much worse it would be for anyone trapped inside the ship. I imagine they would be instantly vaporized.
They could have fixed the drive core before it exploded
@@theclassyguy4665but did they?
No...
So they died when the ship exploded...
The game tells you that survival knifes were banned because of a massacre on another ship
@@realzguardian*Weapons* were banned from *fabricators.* after the massacre on *obraxis prime* (a planet)
The closest comparison would be battleships suffering a magazine explosion.
In those cases there were survivors but they had lots of armour and unless they escaped the wreck or escaped they would be killed by fire / asphixiation.
The Aurora would have no armour to speak of so the explosion would rip through the ships internals with a more devastating effect. If there were survivors of the crash they probably moved to the front of the ship to try and (unsuccessfully) stabilise the core.
What if some people didnt survive because abandon ship was playing on the speakers and they liked the music
I mean, can you blame em 🤣

Red Alert, not Abandon Ship
I would stay on too
The fact the Aurora only has 157 passengers is far more surprising to me
Same
it had 0.25 cubic kilometers of storage, which is bonkers. Clearly it was a mass hauling vessel, which have much smaller populations because there aren't many passengers if any, and you only need the people running the ship, which could be done 90% from control rooms.
it was a mostly cargo ship, not a passenger ship
Yeah, same, at the start I expected it to have at least 1,000 passengers
It's a cargo ship, and cargo ships never have a ton of people. Even the largest cargo ships today only have 20-30 people.
By my probably flawed calculations, the Aurora is approx. 1280m long, a third as wide and 400m tall, -100m for the bridge. As the ship is an ellipsoid it has about 107.2 million m3 in volume spread across what looks like six decks. Let’s say that the accessible area for a crew member is a quarter and the rest is for the phasegate and other cargo, leaving 26.8 million m3 for crew.
With only a crew of 148, this means that this is a skeleton crew or the ship is so advanced there doesn’t need to be that many people onboard. Since the ship only has quarters for 150 as per the ship’s PDA entry, the latter is likely the case.
On a ship this large and only 157 people onboard, each person has more than 181,000 m3 to themselves. To say that they were tripping over each other is egregious. They might not even have seen another person until reaching the life-pods.
I have to say, it is rather strange that a ship this big only has 148 crew. Modern naval ships nowhere near the size of the Aurora have up to 400 crew. And it’s not like this is a simple cargo ship, this is a top of the line capital ship, supposedly on a self-contained, three year mission.
At least looking at it this way, Ryley’s title of Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief means he is the person in charge of Non-essential systems maintenance and not a redundant crew member since Alterra Cleary hates redundancy.
Speaking of redundancy, with only 50 life-pods onboard and 2 people per pod, only 100 people could safely escape the Aurora in case of an, this much is obvious. However, as you pointed out in the video, there are going to be pods that leave at non-capacity, and pods that could experience a malfunction, massive gun or not. That means that even a minimum of 75 pods isn’t enough since at the time of the game, there were 9 extra passengers onboard. Really a ship this large needs at least 25% more life-pods than max capacity spread out over the ship so that they are more accessible and less likely to experience a collective catastrophe. But, you have to admire the ship’s ventilation systems.
From where I’m sitting, this game was rigged from the start.
Bro did really took his time writing this 😂. But it's true do.

@@ÀngryŊoodle I also saw it but I thought there aren't any people in there and even if there was they'd be dead until now by the bacteria on 4546B
my really low effort hypotesis is that the crew has only the job of maintenance and basic control on the machinery. The rest is done by the ship itself and thus you don't need that many people.... ofcourse the pod number argument is right, we have to consider even the case of the ship rescuing others and so the number of people that can be onboard could rise a lot.
Only lifepods 1-25 launched as read in the ships blackbox so half of his calculations are incorrect
The condition inside the Aurora could have looked much better then it had when we explored it. Because we could only do so after it detonates
The only thing I hate, is we see this massive ship go inside and only see a quarter of it. It would be so cool to be able to go the thruster area. Or control area where they drove the aurora.
I mean the control room is non existent now because of the explosion
I think that it would have been cool if an expansion was added to subnautica that
gave the players much more of the aurora to explore, maybe even giving the destroyed bridge section its own interior or life pod launch bays or more lore surrounding the players character in his quarters or in various pdas where we finally get to hear him speak, even if it’s only a recording.
Honestly the aurora is such a key piece of the story of subnautica that feels almost forgotten. There is so much in the ship we’ve never seen before. Not only the cut off back half, but also the front most section that got blown to bits when the aurora explodes.
Since khaara is present in the water, the Aurora was compromised the instant it made contact with the surface. There is a slight chance that the khaara is also airborne, which would have rendered the ship compromised in the event of a single minute hull breach
Seeing how the degasi crew wasnt infected until months underwater and the blood crawlers on the surfaces arent infected it seems it isnt airborne
@@Tenderofyggdrasil Good point
The bacterium itself might not be airborne, but the Aurora would likely have kicked up a ton of water vapour and spray into the air on impact, meaning a good number of water droplets would probably be breathed in by survivors
@@WillowWisp2112yum!
I think it’s very likely most of this is true especially since it says the cave crawlers have human tissues in their digestive track so there had to have been some survivors
It never says that the cave crawlers do it says that lifeforms in the area do which intends the reaper nearby from the remains of lifepod 4
@@joeburnover4110 I don't think the PDA has that far of a range. It only plays the messages when you get in the designated areas, which I know is for gameplay but I also took it as it having limited scanning ability. So it would have to be talking about the cave crawlers - the message only play once you're nearly inside the Aurora
The PDA has no way of knowing if those people the cave crawlers ate were alive at the time. Given how many must have died in the crash, and the lack of any corpses, I would suggest the cave crawlers likely simply scavenged the dead.

With the crackling of fires and the creaking of metal, I doubt the cave crawlers knew there were survivors, until the survivors happened upon them feasting on the bodies of their crewmates. Thinking about that makes me uneasy. Not seeing an unknown approaching, but a confirmed predator that already has a taste for human flesh.

Aurora crashed at crazy speeds and 150 people for a 1km long ship makes it hard for people to even see each other when running through the ship

It is hard to believe that no one on the ship would have survived, at least until the explosion, because there is a lot less food and water than there should be on board
There are large sections of the aroura we cant actully acsess either
@@garyslayton8340 That is true, and once the player repairs the Drive Core leaks, there would be a lot less radiation in the area, making it safer to travel and that paired with new pathways opened up with the explosion may mean people could eventually make it out and while they may loose more people to the Reapers, could make it to the Safe Shallows, especially if they could find some intact/easily patched up vehicles that can work underwater, which we do know exist with things like the Prawn Suits being found onboard. And once in the Safe Shallows they'd likely come across signs of the player and more importantly the young Sea Emperors (Assuming this is after we leave 4546B), allowing them access to Enzyme 42, so the disease problem would be solved. After that it would only be a matter of time until either rescue comes or the construction of additional Neptune Escape Rockets, possibly even reusing some of our abandoned structures, resources, and possibly even data to do so.

@@Partially_Frozendelicious delicacy
I mean even if anyone lived long enough to see it they were all on a timer anyway. I imagine that the drive core exploding as we witness from outside would’ve killed anyone left alive in there.
So while we only find 9 life pods, we know that lifepods 1-25 all launched so presumably there’s some people who met a very bad fate in the void
That would suck
If I recall it's generally assumed that the rest of the lifepods landed in the void.
Some could've also been crushed by the Aurora too if they landed before it.
They could have also released to early and be stuck in space in the debris feild.
or worse they landed under the aurora
Remember that when you are about to enter the aurora your PDA says that the organisms in the ship had human tissue in their digestive systems, so statistically speaking it's almost certain
The funny thing is the pawnsuts still survived after the explosion there might have been a chance to tank the explosion and never touch the water and bacteria.
the reactor blew up, u think someone survived?
They were non functional, after bomb.
The lifepods could most likely be filled with up to 3-4 people, but the 1 or 2 not sitting on one of the seats would most likely die or get injured from the splashdown.
If you lay flat like falling on a free fall elevator you would probably survive since your bodies increased surface area would disperse a lot of the impact evenly
I like this. Nice lore theory and survival story for the people!
I don't think there could've been survivors because when you leave the lifepod it says that there are zero signs of life aboard the Aurora
Well your character was unconscious for hours, by the time you wake up and get your feet wet their already dead
The scanner surely can’t go past certain materials in the hull since the pda would be using the life pods less powerful scanners unlike the auroras scanners which probably would be able to penetrate every material

@@GregoryMcStevens doesn’t mean the auroras scanner isn’t limited by range and power since the ship was on a type of mode to conserve power
The possibility that some of the crew survived the initial crash is likely, but the precense of the reapers most likely killed many who tried to escape. The rest most likely succumbed to the smoke inhalation and the chances that any of them got off the ship and survived the entire game is about 0 due to Warpers confirming through likely scanning that the player is is the only survivor unaccounted for, meaning the other survivors most likely died.
(Side note, the warpers obviosily didn’t scan sector zero so the only way another survived is if somehow a pod was jettisoned above sector zero.)
he covered the smoke inhalation...if you had been paying any attention idiot... further more...warpers were able to scout the entire planet...as they would been spread farther then realized
The voice logs make me wonder how long we were unconscious! Sounds like a lot happened before we woke up with minor head trauma!
Tbh, my headcannon was a few of the radio messages were in real time, and we just weren't fast enough. however that's extremely unlikely
I'mma be real, Alterra made the Aurora really well, it took two shots from the QEP, managed to still land mostly intact (partly thanks to the captain), The ship had enough ventilation that the smoke was manageable despite being a space ship, A large amount of the systems were still functional despite the entire front quarter of the haul being blasted off by the quantum detonation.
The PDA did exactly as it should have in emergency mode, it managed to keep someone alive if they were lucky enough to not land somewhere dangerous, and, most likely, I'm willing to bet that the 1 trillion credit debt was waved away, most likely just being put on Riley by an automated system, and most likely would have been waved away due to the technology the rocket brought back (the ion power cells and such) as well as the knowledge that Riley would have brought back, both from personal experience, but also from scan data or downloaded data.
I also, personally, ignore how Alterra is presented in Below Zero because nothing is confirmed about the bio-weapon stuff, and in the first game, some of the documents you can find show that a majority of the citizens have a pretty good life, almost everyone is employed and their basic needs are met unless they literally actively fight against that, their skills are put to use in jobs that most people seem to somewhat enjoy, everyone has access to food and water as they need, housing is plentiful between space ships, stations, and planets.
I always assumed that anyone still alive on the ship after the crash were vaporized when the drive core exploded.
0:58 not times 50, only 25. The black box reports that the starboard pods were hit directly by the blast so only 25 launched. There is a copy of the Black Box entry on the wiki.
I always wondered this but never had the motivation thanks breathtaker
No problem, also fancy running into you in that livestream the other night :)
Based on the lack of fall damage, the best hope was to get in a PRAWN before the crash. Then just walk your way out and go for a stroll to find the lifepods.
1:04 you forget the fact, that the lifepods on one side got incapacitated when the aurora got hit. So 25 lifepods, that actually may have launched.
Aurora explosion "walks into the room" forget about me.
If the PDA’s “zero human life signs detected” also refers to the aurora itself, then they were all dead by then anyway 🤣
Why those lifepods only sit 2 people is beyond me, you could easily fit 4 people each, maybe even 6 if that damn future space radio wasn't so freaking big it takes most of a wall.
Actually I feel like all who survived wouldn’t’ve had time to do any of that seeing as the ship EXPLODES a day later
i think he forgot the entirety of the ship was radioactive to the point where you die after 20 seconds of gonig near it
That was after the reactor explodes. His theory is set before that, when the radiation was slowly leaking and therefore not as potent.
@@ReapersKid07still if you were on the ship pre explosion you'd still die of radiation poisoning within a few hours at least
@@GregoryMcStevens Thinking about it again, I'm actually going to go on my own theory. We can assume that since there's little actual radiation around Aurora prior to the drive core's meltdown that the drive core was almost entirely intact (PDA does say it was damaged). I'm going to go guess that Aurora was likely full throttle prior to her shoot down, and that the drive core was left on that full throttle during and after the crash. Assuming that the coolant leaked out due to the crash, I'm going to say that the reactor suffered a LOCA and overheated, causing a Chernobyl-like explosion.
So it's entirely possible that radiation levels stayed in the "not great, not terrible" zone until the meltdown, and that Aurora was indeed the safest place on 4546B, again until the meltdown.
Edit: I believed that there was no radiation around the intact wreck, but upon checking after writing this I was wrong.
Im sure the ones whit radiation suit shoud stand for longer than that but dyng by the drive core detonation after day 3-5
Its imposibel form any one inside of it to survive sinse we can see fire gasp go around the entire ship, whit that a huge amount of the fire went trow all the halls and rooms, maybe the ones loked inside some rooms may stand a chanse of surviving the explosion but ending traped for the doors damage or halls covers on debrids
honestly the ship being intact while having fallen out of space is in itself of dubious likeliness
Not particularly for Subnautica though. If you remember from Below Zero, the Mercury II tanked a shot from the QEP and landed intact enough to (with repairs) attempt an emergency launch. It was the second shot that tore it apart. Degasi also apparently landed intact enough for the 3 survivors to cannibalize it. So far the only ship to not survive the QEP and crash fairly intact was the Sunbeam, which as you know was disintegrated by the shot.
@@ReapersKid07 Tbf, the sunbeam was not that much larger than the qep laser itself.....
This guys voice kinda sounds like Chris griffin
I don't hear it
My guess is that the guys who got radiation suits managed to survive until the explosion so maybe the pda malfunctioned and couldn't verify the leftovers inside the Aurora...
also thanks to certain effects life pods on one side of the aurora could not be launched thus only half of the life pods were launched and only two successfully survived decent and deployed floatation devices, 10 findable, 40 life pods lost due to atmospheric entry or lost to the void
also this has to happen in about 3 hours as that's when riley Robinson (Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief) (Chief janitor) wakes up after being knocked out by a system panel
You are extremely underrated
If this was the case, i still can't get this thought out of my mind. That is, if the survivors died inside of Aurora, why can't we find their bodies?
Or, i guess..... Maybe their bodies are evaporated by the nuclear blast 😂
There are large sections we can't even explore because of the explosion.
In the game those areas are just empty space because you don't go there.
The PDFA tells you that the organisms in the aurora have human tissues in their digestive system, so i think they have "cleaned" the area.
Well, to keep the game more advertiser friendly, they had to make the fish bleed green, so I don't think they would get rid of that by putting corpses into the game
Pretty interesting theory. Most likely true too. I really liked the video.
I would assume they would have been kinda exploded before dying to the bacteria ngl
Well, this would likely be false. In order to land on the crater (keep in mind, the crater which it landed on is EXTREMELY small) you would need some serious stopping force. Looking at how curved the front of the ship is, it would have an even harder time stopping quickly. It likely didnt land in the crag field, since the front looks relatively undamaged to have landed in such a rocky and low area. While the captain did a controlled descent, a controlled and survivable landing would be near impossible. Unless VTOL was used (which is unlikely, since you cant see any downwards engines in the poster of the Aurora) this thing would be going nearly straight down to land in such a distance that it did. You also can find that unanchored items are still in the middle of the floor, which would either mean they were launched straight down, or they lost momentum slowly with the ship- but to lose momentum slowly, you need a lobg runway, which was not an option. It very likely reached near its terminal velocity going down. Even going on the low end and saying it hit the ground at 100 km/h descent, you still would be royally f*cked if you were inside. This thing is made of almost pure titanium. It would pretty much shatter and absorb practically no impact force. The only reason plane crashes almost always have survivors is because number one- the plane still is at a decent rate of descent, even right as it crashes- and two, planes are made of a material that can absorb the impact instead of the people inside taking the brunt of the damage. The Aurora would have had neither. Even assuming you did somehow survive the initial impact, you would suffocate. The Aurora wouldn't have had good ventilation. It's in space, with no air outside- it can't afford to let air out. What's more likely is, they grab the Co2 you breathe out, and take out the carbon. The excess carbon would be used to power the engines, and oxygen would be pumped out for you to breath again. So yes, GLADoS, we will be breathing in the same room of air for the rest of our life. But point is, that system would need energy- so once the ship has no energy, you have no air being made, and would likely suffocate. The only reason it has good ventilation when we go in is probably because of the *massive gaping hole in the front.*
Very cool video + new sub
Thanks! Welcome Aboard:)
PDA literally tells you 0 life signs detected when you regain consciousness.
Not sure if you were paying attention but the ship exploding after you eject in your life pod was violent enough to seriously damage your lifepod. The concussive force most definitely killed them.
And I have no doubt that if the detonation and crash impact did get them the radiation most certainly got did considering how quickly you die going near the Aurora without a radiation suit.
Riley also likely woke up hours after his pod crashed down, since he was knocked out by the loose panel. This could explain the fact that there were no survivors. The rest of the damage could be attributed to Aurora chunks possibly hitting the pod during descent and after landing (Lifepod 17 was almost hit by the Seamoth Bay on the way down, so it's not improbable).

Pda mentioning the cave crawlers genuinely scarred me. I thought they are eaten alive by them or they already died due to second explosion some time after the crash
Uh there are some things that make it unlikely for the crew and passengers to have survived, first is the explosion seen in the intro wether or not it's from the gun doesn't really matter i think most died through that and the impact possibly would have killed even more and with the surface explosion i can see it being impossible for there being any survivors on the aurora post surface explosion.. so changes are they never even got hit by the crabs, the radiation or the karaa
.....your theory...is about as useless as can be...first off it was the Q.E.P (quarentine enforcement platform) was the first innitial explosion, firing off and hitting aurora, then as ryley got in the lifepod and escaped you could (in the beginning cutscene for the game) see another blast from the q.e.p hit the ship thus that would have further damaged the life pods..then the ship crashing into the ocean wouldve injured some people but if they were told to brase then they wouldve brased for impact with the water, many of the humans wouldve eventually died due to the radiation...the karaa then you got the reactor eplosion which would lesslikely killed the crew...the crawlers wouldve eventually killed what ever was left...then the crawlers would been the final remaining living creatures on board
@kyutogreyfox4292 the gun is the enforcement platform, thus that part still stands, further most if not all lifepods that got off either sunk or were torn open before the explosion.
Further an impact from orbit with a vehicle the tonnage of the aurora would mean a very high ammount of g's(wich wil be in exces of 50g(wich is the lethal ammount)) meaning they could have gone through walls(wich noting the materials used wil also mean if people get launched they wil end up as minced meat)
Thus it still stands that most if not all other people outside riley would not survive before the front hull explosion...
Given the excesses the crew had to endure that only 1 person survived is very low(give or take the chance that current humanity would find another earth we actually cán get to within a generation before hyperdrive systems)
@@stijnVDA1994 though you make an interesting point, if they had braced just in a nick of time, even the worst of a crash can be survived, when one is braced enough, and a ship crashing on planet, is very survivable though the odds are very low, it still shows to some extent that during riley being knocked out, the ship crashing some of the remaineder would atleast have survived long enough, as surviving through the radiation is managable same for the crash, though the creatures getting in wouldve caused some minor problems and the ship having been flooded and burning...crew more likely would been alive atleast a tiny number of survivors..though riley was long unconsious for awhile, then several days on planet...eventually these crewmen, would been killed by the explosion..some probably would been near the nuclear reactor trying to fix it or contain the fallout...only to end up dying due to the explosion..you gotta think...they were in space still by the time the second beam hit the hull...thus the ship wouldve eventually sustain vacuum in that sector of the ship, thus any hope of escape is null&void at that point, but, some could have survived before the explosion...just been trying to stop any hazards like a nuclear fallout or something like that...
@@kyutogreyfox4292 the nig difference is that riley got knocked out because of a damaged plate sitting in a life pod, and only people seated in a pod wich were only single digit numbers that have not broken up in orbit in total meaning that it still would lower the numbers to fractions so small that at best only one person might survive.. so expect a 0.0000000000001% initial survival..

This also isn’t to mention that if most of the crew was still alive after planet fall, they would mostly have been wiped out because of the quantum detonation of the drive core.
1:58 I don’t think the captain died. However, when the massive explosion happened pretty much everyone died. The radiation was expanding and trapped everyone inside they cannot leave because it was too dangerous. I imagined that the crew tried to stop the breach, but it was damaged beyond repair eight hours later dark matter fusion exploded.
After 8 hours there was only 1 survivor. So nobody was alive on the Aurora before the explosion.
@@InooxProductions but I’m sure they would be people in the drive bay. Trapped inside. One tried to get the captain out but the radiation was too bad.
Barely anyone noticed this but why he said about people in the life pods he there was 1.57 basically one and a half of someone where was the other half
Approximate, it’s either 2 or 1.
That's a percentage. Some lifepods had two people, some only had one. on average, each lifepod had at least one person and a roughly 50% chance to have another
With the size of the ship, I am honestly surprised that people shared living areas, the ship is definitely big enough for a separate living space for all 157 passengers. Even if 90% of it contains cargo and the inner workings

Mind you this all happened within three hours of riley being out, in those three hours every survivor died and riley was woken up.
I think there were survivors inside, maybe those at the top of the ship, but then it exploded so they either died because of the explosion or by the radiation
Not to mention the fact that even if someone did survive long enough they'd die to the explosion of the drive core
It sucks that there aren’t bodies or bones at all in subnautica. I feel like most things would be much more devastating looking if there were actual signs of death
Some lifepods probably landed into the void, consumed by creatures or drowned by failed floatation devices
If abandon ship was playing when the aurora was crashing I could understand if everyone died not wanting to get off the ship
short answer no
well 25 life pods were damaged out of fifty, 25 life pods 1.5 average per life pod is about 38 people 157 negative 38 is about 120 the ship was moving about 500 metres per second in the trailer clip of it crashing accounting for angle it moved about 2.5 auroras long or about 2750 metres, and the clip is about 3 seconds long, 2750 divided by 4 gives us 687. a 687 metre per second crash would instantly kill anyone, in this instance lets just say they magically survive, now they are about 500 metres away from a massive nuclear reactor, estimating riley takes 3 hours to wake up plus about 3-5 days until the explosion, in three to five days they would have to fight radiation, fire , navigate a 1200 metre smoke filled ship, reapers and leave the crash zone, which i dont think many would make it, and this is saying if they aren't sent into a wall at 600 metres per second turning them into noodles. i didn't include cave crawlers because they wouldn't be on the ship until the explosion
bro you gonna get popular af
but yet its conceivable that at the time of the player's departure someone could still be alive in the back of the ship,while blocked it appears mostly undamaged
we can see the were the pods are shot idk why that came to my mind
Where’s that .56 of a person in a lifepod? Lol, just kidding. Nice theory btw
I’m making a sort of like animated short movie about the aurora being leaving the space dock then going through the hoops and like people talking to each other and socializing, and of course, insulting the main character you play as in the main game saying that he is a loser or a person that wasn’t or why is he on here type guy? I just don’t know how to animate. Definitely not going to use source film maker.
My question is, can you surbive there after repairong the reactors? Can you put a fabricator on a wall in the captain's quarters? Can you build a base in the reactor room or prawn bay?
If there were a few more survivors still alive at the end. The Quantum Detonation would have killed off the last of them!
Basically the aurora survivors got to find out what happened to Amelia Earhart the hard way.
Technically, Ryley owns nothing, since he was under employer Alterra labor responsability and also on state of necessity, so he was entitled to use whatever means necessary to survive
Under labor law, an employer is generally responsible for the safety and well-being of their employees, particularly in hazardous situations. This principle is embedded in the concept of duty of care, which obliges the employer to take reasonable steps to protect employees from foreseeable risks. In the case of Ryley, since the accident occurred during his employment with Alterra, the company would be responsible for his safety and, by extension, any survival measures he had to take as a result of the shipwreck.
Given the state of necessity and the employer's duty of care, Ryley’s use of any available resources on the ship to ensure his survival could be legally justified. In civil law, this would likely fall under the principle of necessitas non habet legem ("necessity has no law"), which excuses the appropriation of property in dire situations where human life is at stake.
Under these legal principles, Ryley would not owe Alterra any compensation for the resources used to survive. The employer’s responsibility for the employee’s safety during a work-related incident, combined with the justification of a state of necessity, would negate any claims Alterra might have regarding the use of their property. Ryley acted within his rights to preserve his life, and legally, he would be protected from any financial obligation to Alterra arising from this incident.
Ryley is legally justified in using whatever means were necessary to survive the shipwreck. Alterra, as his employer, had a duty to ensure his safety, and the principle of the state of necessity protects Ryley from any claims for compensation. Therefore, Ryley owes nothing to Alterra under these circumstances.
So Alterra giving Ryley 30T credit debt is illegal.
What about any dead bodies? Why are there no remains?
When you board the Aroura, the PDA states that the Cave Crawlers have been consuming human remains. So they literally ate every single body on the ship.
@@sherrykathman3309yum!
Its simple, The drive core vaporized most of the corpses, and the crawlers, leeches, and other denizens vacuumed up the rest!
I think you might hit 100k subs one day and get a silver play button which less than 0.05 per cent of people have
Do you know what pisses me off the most about this game? It's that in the prawn suit Bay there's like four basically mint prawn suits where you basically could have just put them all together into one without having to craft it. Like bruh gimme
There should be a way to dismantle things like vehicles
"Zero human lives detected" -PDA
Im sure people lived. Well... Before the giant explosion at least.
in the aurora no matter how hard you try... you cant find any bodys which is weird because there was 42 people left onboard and that had survived
the PDA actually says that the organisms in the ship have human tissus in their digestive system.
also, surviving a shock like that is more than a miracle, i mean, not everebody could actually take a lifepod just the fact they actually can run to lifepod is already a miracle, and so i assume most of them where not in a "safe postion" when this huge ship hit the ground at full speed, not being attached properly can kill you at 60 Km/h in car so, i think most of the crew looked more like hamburger than people.
couldnt have been 78 people that got on life pods as only 25 of them actually launched, black box data from the aurora itself says that the side that got hit by the gun destroyed the 25 pods that were on that side of the ship so only 25 could actually launch
Survivors? In MY Aurora? Its more likely than you think
dude sounds sick
I hsvent seen a single comment about this but wouldnt Riley see their corpses or skeletons after they died when Riley got onto the aurora after the explosion?
Very cool stories
Thanks
Only that little people can fit inside that big ship damn
Yeah a 20 meter plane can do way better
Let's face it: These poor saps probably would've had an easier time at Black Mesa or Apeture Science. Not necessarily surviving, but they probably would've died quicker.
The ship exploded on the second day after the crash... not enough time for the kharaa to do its thing. Nor the radiation.
2:45 that voice crack is crazy lil bro
Who uses the term "lil bro" unironically. This is the most cringe I've ever heard
@@nekemli2622lil bro’s pressed 😭
@@quadruple_h bro got the disease where he can't finish a sentence without saying "bro" and "lil" and putting random emojis behind every sentence

157 persons manned a airship over 1 km in size. Its totally unrealistic. Atleast 700 crew would be needed for such a big ship.
Except in this universe technology and ai is very advanced, they don't really need that many people
The number 42 appears like twice in Subnautica lol
I think possibly most of damage in Aurora was caused by explosion that opened access for you
There’s a reason subnautica is not known for its lore
Care to explain? "spooky underwater game" is what it's most known for sure, but the lore is also very good
@@ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τ3κwe should lowkey get a star citizen like game where we can buy big ships and go explore entire planets like star citizen and space engineers, might need a mid-high range pc and console but it would be better than nothing
After the explosion, no
You could technically survive the explosion, especially if you were in the water parts. But well, there were cave crawlers there, so maybe not.
One of the life pods I forgot their name on of them could have survived if they didn’t go back for her
I think that was Lifepod 6?
lets not forget the 2 people who needlessly died because the one guy tried rigging a powercell to a seaglide to "increase efficiency" and exploded due to being overloaded.
Sometimes the voice squeaks so high I actually close my eyes lol
Obviously, the developers didn't take into consideration the survivors of the crash. However, your video doesn't make sense either. The cave crawlers can only enter through holes that were made during the impact since there was no explosion. The crash wouldn't have created any holes because the material of the ship would have been pushed in. There would have been smaller fires since we can only enter after the explosion, and the fires would have been in earlier stages. They would know the reactor is out since there is no power in the ship when we enter it.
Comparing the Aurora to a plane? The Aurora is around 10 times higher and 5 times longer compared to an average plane. The crash data is incorrect; not all planes crash land-they just crash. Also, the Aurora was doing atmospheric entry. If we take into account that it was crashing with an angle of attack of 20 degrees (with the belly of it), we also know that it had a heat shield to survive the atmospheric entry. That also means it is at the belly of the spacecraft
What if the people in the locked rooms you can't enter survived? Like they survived for a bit until radiation poisoning got to them
@@VØÏÐ666 it’s definitely possible
@ because if you go to developer mode and turn on unlock doors, you can open the doors and see that the gargantuan Leviathan ate all of the rooms in the doors you can't enter
Doesn't it take about a week for kharaa to kill someone? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the poor lads got killed in the explosion, not kharaa. I do understand the radiation though.
Good video, but those voice cracks got me dead
Did they not have the titanic in subnautica's earth ? only 100 life pod spaces for 157 passengers ?
