[Rage at the Eclipse] - The First Phase [Applications now Open again!]

There was no escape pod, there was, however an emergency release... which separated the cockpit from the rest of the ship.

Leaving the cockpit section with no means of propulsion. And the part with the engine no means of interacting or controlling it. Neither had a distress beacon. to top it all off the release hatch was position in such a way, that whoever released it would be exposed to the vacuum of space.

Who designs ships like this!?
