Why was the Singularity removed?

[BeardedElectron]

It was terrible, dumb and constantly ruined rounds. The times people bombed it in some valiant last-ditch effort were cool, but rare, and not worth the headache of a thousand "singularity's out, call the shuttle" round endings. It left nothing for engineers to do once it was turned on, it'd just sit there being a big dumb photoshop cloud until it inevitably fucked the round up.

The containment field and lasers were cool though.

The TEG can kill the entire station with a little work, but it'll never ruin itself permanently due to incompetence. It can be an incredibly powerful weapon in the right hands, but if you don't know what you're doing, it's really only a danger to engineers - and it can be repaired unless someone outright bombs it. I don't want to have newbie engineers fucking everything up for everyone else, I want the engine to be more or less foolproof until you intentionally abuse it and push its limits.

It's trivially easy to capture deathgas from the engine and release it elsewhere. It's intentionally hard for the engine to do that by itself.

Valve transfers can't be replaced on the engine, if you happen to be taking a walk down patty cake lane with welding fuel swinging behind you when you're trying to fix breaks in what appeared to be freezing temperatures (or so the temp meter says) BOOM! then you've got a missing valve that can't be fixed, shitty.

Now to my main concern, someone fiddled around with the combustion chamber, it seems every time I try to have a decent burn at 1 on the pumps it snuffs flames out, anything higher just drains the canisters too damn fast.

That and the cold loop gas still ending up in medbay mysteriously sucking through all the cannisters of coolant, you walk into medbay and find that it's leaking mysteriously from the cryo pods.

I'd also like to know how the wizards are keeping a hellburn that busted the pipes infinitely running the engine, I have tried for eons and I can't replicate such results, is it admin voodoo?
