Almost all of the lifeboats in the Alienverse seem to have been designed by morons (except perhaps for Rez)...we have to come up with fan-theories on why the EEV does what it does for it to make any sorta sense...those mini escape pods in Promethefuk are hilarious (unless you're meant to go into stasis, otherwise, good luck floating around in space for two years awaiting pick-up)...and the pièce de résistance, the Narcissus, the only lifeboat for a crew of seven that, oh-so-so-sorry, only carries two...lulz...
