-Emagging it once will shorten the time to ten seconds.
-Emagging it twice will reroute the shuttle, with a confirmation asking if you want to do this.
-But anyone who gets to the computer after it's been emagged will be able to reset it.
So if you really want to kill everyone you have to get to the cockpit, emag it twice, then defend it from everyone else trying to reset it.
I think this totally kills the idea of the emag. It's a tool meant to permanently fuck something up so the crew shouldn't be able to do undo it.
I came up with this idea because it feels like the emag was missing an ability. Yeah it shortened the launch time to 10 seconds but what good is that really? Rerouting the destination by hacking into the shuttle computer is so much more in the spirit of its function.
