Sharing my few cents on the matter:
I'd go as far as to say the shuttle control being a IC thing, as opposed to an OOC vote in general is far from ideal. The decision to keep playing a round or not is not something that should be integrated ICly and sabotage-able at all, it's an out of game thing that currently is either solely in the hands of command to decide, or hijackable, when "THIS DECIDES IF THE ROUND ENDS OR NOT" is something that majorly affects absolutely everyone in ways that even physically destroying parts of the station does not.
I've seen quite a few places have a pop-up vote for everyone, dead or alive, that has played the round to see if they want the shuttle to come or not, it's much more intuitive, less prone to misuse, and more indicative of what everyone involved in the round ACTUALLY wants instead of a few select people's will overriding a grand majority of players in a round.
