The New Nuke (It'll be around forever, eh eh eh)

[Tom Clancy's Gay Ghost]

At the risk of sounding like a dumb solution, why not give a post round reward to the crew in exchange for beating the syndicate threat.

"Due to the brave efforts of station x, all crewmembers now get a raise to celebrate the averted destruction of one of our beloved stations."

Instead of just having nerds wait it out, you'll have grey shirts and security fighting for a retirement bonus.

Well, solarium failure causes disaster mode. Why not have nuke success cause PARTY MODE? Boogiebots all over, ice creams from centcomm in the bar and fun toys available.
