Eh, I'm fine with that.

On some level I'm confused by people complaining about orders being what unlocks suit features - it's functionally the same as finding it in a room. What is the deal?

Because the idea is that she *could* be doing it, but is choosing not to. Certainly on a gameplay level its all the same (find this room and Adam will authorize this power being the same as just finding the power in that room), but it really wrecks the idea of Metroid as a survival game, of Samus finding these things that help her overcome the hostile environments.

Though i've yet to see evidence that such authorizations endure beyond the early phase of the game.

I'm only concerned with the mechanics.

Isn't the narrative justification that if she used all of the power she has stored up after killing Mother Brain, she'd blow up the facility and kill everyone inside?

I had thought the collateral damage thing extended only to her use of missiles in the presence of the soldiers. I would certainly hope so, anyway, as i would quite hate for that to be the model for the entire game.
