Yeah I can see the stuff that the precursors making the QEP as it is now due to the time limit and etc, this is just me thinking from a logical point of view. Yeah the Sunbeam pilots may be inexperienced, but if our player has the luck to survive a crash when no one else did, surviving on titanium scraps and the alien materials, manages to later in build giant bases and submersibles and ultimately later in the game, an escape rocket, surely enough the Sunbeam shouldn't have a problem attempting a landing scenario. Again, just thinking from a logical perspective. If the rocket scans for nearby threats or unnatural occurences, the orbital debris field containing spaceship engineering technology and other sciency stuff would mean that the rocket should take that into consideration. Also the Sunbeam didn't pick up on the QEP before it attempted to fire. Which means that the rocket shouldn't either as the rocket can't scan for something that is currently offline at the time?

And I have seen the ending, the rocket certainly is a lot faster than the Sunbeam.. If you build the Rocket and prepare for take off directly behind the mountain the QEP shouldn't have a clear lock on. Also how does the QEP distinguish between a rocket and a giant cyclops submarine? Does it detect fuel or? As it locks on energy signatures? Just a lot of stuff that hasn't been explained yet..
