Warning: once self-destruct mode is set, it cannot be canceled.

Confirm order.

Self-destructs are the most stupid plot device ever.

OH BUT I DONT WANT MY SPACESHIP TO FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS!!!

Why, dipshit? If they wanted it, they'd take it on the ground. Not in space while the heroes are escaping with a 60 second countdown.

It's also an effective "fuck you," a core overload packs a lot more punch than just ramming your ship into the other dude's.

No Okuu, don't do it! I love you!

I dunno, it can be good if played right. It gets absurd though if it's a mechanism that can be activated without any security protocols or passwords.

Op's image is so awesome, yet so sad ;_;

In Star Trek: Bridge Commander you could destroy your ship instantly by pressing ctrl + d anytime you wanted. No countdown or protests from your crew, just you blowing up your ship for no reason.

Uh, yes it can.

In Total Annihilation you could use the same to self-destruct any unit after a countdown. That would cause damage, and if it were a transport, it would kill what it was carrying too, such as enemy units.

The fact that some units were chock full of antimatter made this all the better.

I am imagining a very tiny Orin or Satori running through Okuu to shut down her core and keep her from killing herself. It is a very strange image.

I love those self destruct systems that start blowing up the thing they're installed on as soon as they start.
4 minutes until self destruct. As in, the ship is going to start exploding NOW, and it will take 4 minutes for it to completely destroy itself.
