Quote from: Liberator on Dec 23, 2021, 07:29:58 AMThis is another question about Aliens, specifically the transition between the first movie and the second. The derelict spaceship on LV-426 had a beacon, which lured in the Nostromo. What happened to it? It just occurred to me that the colonists who came there later must have heard it, unless someone shut it off. Does anyone know if this was ever officially explained? If not, it begs the questions, who shut it off, and why?

Quote from: Kradan on Dec 23, 2021, 08:19:31 AMIIRC Cameron explained it away by seismic activity on the planet. Basically, in between Alien and Aluens there was a big ass earthquake that damaged beacon inside the Derelict. It's kinda lame explanation but at least there was some thought put in

Robert mentioned that pieces of clay were falling off the exterior but there was no structural damage.
