Seconding the engine fuckery. New round, hadn't touched the combustion chamber because I was planning a basic char burn after last round's shenanigans. Despite being in a fire suit the chamber (no fuel, not lit) caused burn damage.
EDIT: Worked out what the problem is, in part: no valve between the hot loop outlet and the combustion chamber. Hot loop therefore heats up the chamber, even if you're not using it. This wastes a buttload of energy if you're doing just a char burn, and also has the nice side effect of cooking you.
Fix is to add a valve for it, and also make the blast shield/glass actually protective.
