Self Destruct feature.

I'm not sure if anyone did this, but the first thing I did after powering up the carrier, launching the carrier, and reading the tutorial, I decide to find the self destruct system and end up destroying the ship.

For those who are curious where you can find the device, it is located on the floor between the holo-map and helm.

Once you open the hatch, here is what you need to do to initiate self destruct:
1.click on the upper left key slot named 'SYSTEM'
2.monitor will go from 'LCK' to '10.00' to show you the device is active
3.press the 'UP' or 'DOWN' button to set the timer from as low as 0.00 to however long you want (I went as far as 100 seconds and can still go higher)
4.press the ARM 1/2/3/4 buttons below the monitor to arm the device
5.monitor will then show the device as 'ARMED'
6.press the 'ACTIVATE' button to open the safety cover
7.press the 'SELF DESTRUCT' button and wait for the fireworks

Note: If you somehow decide to set your timer beyond 99 seconds, the timer will top off at 99.99, but the timer is still counting down until it hits 99.99 seconds. I guess the fact that I can set the timer to 100 and beyond is a bug and they will fix the timer so 99 is the maximum.

Despite the game saying that initiating self destruct sequence is irreversible, you can simply press the 'ABORT' button to stop the sequence, and you can even reset the timer with the 'UP' or 'DOWN' button. But I wonder if this is a bug, or just a safety switch.

I hope there is a system in place that only give ship captains/helmsman the key to the device, because I can see potential trolls joining in the game and messing with the device and ruin a team game because someone needs to constantly stop the troll from activating the device.

Personally, I find it funny that you can just simply end a game session by activating the self destruct system instead of just leaving the game.

Just for those who do not know where to find the self destruct device. I'm sure there are some of us who are initially curious as to where the device is located and want to mess with it.

In the pause menu, help section, the whole process is described.

There are 4. Buttons which you have to arm, i think every crew member have to arm one button so you can destroy your own ship
