For some reason it felt like I did a lot more work as an engineer back when the singularity was around, and I don't just mean fixing up the crap it ate. Weird.
The singularity was relatively quick and easy to set up, but you could literally do everything right and something like a simple lag hiccup could still fuck the whole damn thing up. I came to goon when the singularity was relatively new, but yeah, like 5 out of maybe 15 rounds ended with it being released. It was funny at the time but in hindsight it really made the game suck more.
Having said that, there were a lot of cool opportunities for sabotage that came from it. I remember being a rogue AI once on Donut 2 and calling for help at the engine. "Traitor trying to release the engine!" I cried! And in ran the captain, the HoS, and a couple sec officers into the narrow engine corridor toward the singularity.
By the time they realized I was the one releasing the singularity in their direction, I had already bolted the airlocks behind them.
But yeah no other than that it sucked, and one day I'm going to learn how to murder people with the current engine.
