[@ZAVAZggg] my issue is, you're telling me noone aboard could undo his coding? Also why did he have a hidden stasis pod to begin with?

Hidden stasis pod was for the desertion plan itself. Should he be boarded, hopefully no one would find him in that room. (Crappy plan I know, but he's never done it before). As for the undoing part, there could have been, but I'd prefer to think that they couldn't break it. Mainly because my other option was for him to just lure the crew somewhere, which would have been very difficult given the sheer amount that were on-board, and jettison them out into space. Also the other issue I ran into with that was the ships interior environment and pressure, as well as any cargo it may have had. All that probably would have been sucked out into space along with the crew as the ship de-pressurized.

So that's why I went with the starvation thing.

I'm open to suggestions though as I hate half ass plans that wouldn't actually work save for when a plot requires. Like the one above.
