How lethal should SS13 be?

Bottom post of the previous page:

We are at an interesting point with power. On one hand the singulo is pretty easy to set, incredibly easy to release, and our alternative in solar power has no real downsides. We have the supermatter, which is dangerous to a lesser degree than the singulo and requires some upkeep. One school of thought is that we replace the singulo with the supermatter.

On one hand this will prevent round end by black hole, which happens incredibly often even on server 2.
The opposing argument is that running from ol singuloth is a fun, time honored ss13 tradition we should not mess with. I think that it might be a nice idea to trial, especially if we are making extra deadliness in other ways.

How about just making singuloth harder to release? Like, make it so that emitters are wirelessly powered instead of snippable from engineering, releasing it immediately when you're a safe distance away? Or maybe, make emitters have battery power, so that once the wires are cut, they'll continue operating for a couple minutes?

It is a kinda boring way of ending the round, but creative uses are possible (e.g. CE releasing singuloth as the last head on a rev-infested station while the revs try to break into engineering, voice analyzer PA to 2 release, from the brig etc.).
