Sounds like you want them to stay mostly invulnerable to fire then. Seriously though, you should have to weigh the risks of engaging in a surface action just to save a mechanical device. It should not be the no-brainer decision it always was in the past.
It's just too bad that the captain (you) can't be shot on the bridge and insta-end your career.
