Somebody mentioned it but:
Those two doors can't be accessed by engineers. Also, the power monitor there isn't hooked up.
Given it's size and ability to handle pressure, this engine could certainly handle fire-in-pipe setups. The problem is, naturally, co2 buildup. Adding some form of co2 scrubbing, which didn't rely on telsci, would certainly help. Even then though, as things are now, I'd imagine you'd still have to babysit the engine all round. This makes power gloves a lot less useful and means you'd have a real hard time spending your PTL gains.
I agree that the bug was pretty dumb. Especially in the old station where the heat could kill people all the way down to the escape shuttle. If the infinite heat gain was fixed then I don't really have a problem, even if I loved fiddling with it. The major problem comes from the systems that were balanced around or relied upon that bug to work. The PTL, Powergloves, Canbombs, etc.
For now I'll probably just throw two in the lower aux ports and fire up the furnaces. That still works, kinda. I've gotten anywhere from ~1mw to ~3mw doing that. It seems to yoyo a lot.
