Why was the Singularity removed?

[pnutz]

the singularity was pretty boring

it had three states, "not on", "working fine", and "welp call the shuttle"

having the shuttle be called before the unreliable printouts from centcom was the main kicker. Usually happened as a result of the same people insisting on not RTFM-ing and that they knew how to set up things ('what you mean weld the emitters I bolted them down and everything').

One change I would make would be for the hot/cold loops to actually interact with the crew areas more than those 2 exhaust pipes next to escape, so pubbie engineers can still make things bad for the crew without being shuttle-calling-ly bad
