As far as I know there is no urgency in this game outside of base drone attacks, you are free to attack poi's whenever and at whatever tech level you feel comfortable.

There's no need to take down the turrets. There's a communication tower building nearby with a teleporter that allows you to teleport to the base without getting shot.

That com relay has turrets of its own, not separate buildings but built into the structure

You're probably looking at the wrong one. It's a separate building further away. It teleports to the one you're talking about.

The com relay is located near the com station, but typically away from the surrounding turrets. It has no defenses except for one or two zirax performing maintenance inside.
You can teleport directly to the inner wall of the Com Station from it, but you cannot teleport back until you turn off the shield inside the first room.

There are two Lvl 1 [Zirax] Com Relay on Akua Moon, and both have auto firing plasma and projectile guns on them. The turrets are not separate buildings like around the Com Station. I just checked.

Can you use the "stats" console command in-game and tell me what it says the global game seed is for your save please?

Thanks.

You're looking for the Communications Relay that is north of the Temporary Drone Base in that seed.
Unfortunately the relay is just inside the range of some of the defense turrets around the Communications Station meaning you can't get inside it without getting shot by the turrets.
THAT will be fixed next update hopefully with some changes I'm making to the POI settings, but you don't need the Com Relays that are on the planet. Those are non-story POIs.

Story POIs will have an admin core to help identify them too (though not all admin POIs are story POIs).

Thank you so much!

As an alternate way to get Zascosium/erestrum early in the game you can attack the zirax POIs on the starter planet without killing their turrets when possible.
Use a salvage core and recover turrets with a multitool.
Build a desconstructor in your base and each turret will give you 12 zascosium alloy.
You will need a SV with the most basic shield.
Once you know where the core is in those POIs it's easy to kill it with a pair of 12.7mm cannons
without killing any turrets.
Then you only have to buy the gold to make the optronic components for the CPU extenders.
