Would it actually be a game over if the nautiloid crashes though? Best case scenario the game dumps you in a different location and you get a slightly different start.
Perhaps but what would be the point of the race against time?
That kind of depends. Maybe it's tutorialising the game is fail forwards. Maybe you end up in a better position if you fail that easy combat challenge as a way to give players unfamiliar with the system a leg up. Or maybe its harder so as to give an optional challenge or sense of consequence to your actions. Maybe it's a character moment for Laezel.
