[QUOTE]Originally posted by StyroFoam Man: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [qb]You know, something really bugs me regarding the destruction of the Ent-D. Why didn't they simply eject the core? Unless the ejector controls were destroyed, but they didn't say that.[/qb][/QUOTE] IIRC if a nuclear-powered ocean-going vessel took that amount of damage THE FIRST thing the crew would do is take the reactor off-line and switch to backup desiel generators. That was LaForge's major mastake. As soon as the BOP was blasted he should have reached over and hit the Big Red Button marked E-STOP and kicked in the backup power systems. A nuclear power-plant shuts itself down if the Reactor Protection System THINKS somthing might be wrong, I don't see why the Computer didn't read "E1P1A1: Faulty Containment Generator-Failure Probable" and trigger a shut-down. And where the hell were the backup cooling systems? Our local Nuclear Reactor (Ginna Station) has three redundant backups, one of which is fail-safe. It could be argued that they were running on the backups do to the damage though... As for not ejecting the core... Prehaps after the Yammato blew up the policy was changed to "Step One: Abandon Ship... Step Two: Run Like Hell... Step Three: Attempt to eject the core by remote." /end rant-and-rave mode... :D : :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
