Plot holes in games? (SPOILERS)

I disagree with Other M. While forbidden use of the power bomb is properly explained (it could kill potential survivors nearby) a plothole emerges for all of the other weapons when you die. Why would Samus take an order from someone who used to be her superior, when it will result in her death? She can't save anone when she's dead, and even worse, many of the monsters threaten the entire universe, not just the potential survivors on board. Holding back isn't really an option.

Even more jarring are the non-offensive suit capabilities like the varia and gravity suit, which couldn't harm anyone around her, but would save samus in extreme evironments (not to mention continually reduce all damage from enemies).

From memory, they also lose communication for a decent part of the game. Samus is a self-sufficient bounty hunter and should be making her own calls even more so in this situation. For all she knows, he's been killed (with a known assassin on the loose). Stop holding out for orders that may never come Samus.

It's simply illogical for Samus to put her life so on the line on the whim of an old superior. Sure, some restrictions made sense, but the majority just didn't.

Why doesn't she use her other equipment? Because she is motherf*cking Samus and she doesn't motherf*ckin need to.
