Huge Crisis is the dumbest name for a zone ever XDD Especially 'cos it's just.. a boat..

I think it's a warship, but yeah, never explained why that's a crisis. ;P

Maybe it's a crisis (for the SHIP) because you're there. And a huge one, considering what usually happens to boats and the like the cast of Sonic goes near. (When is the last time some kind of flying/floating object was visited by one of the characters without being destroyed or heavily damaged?)

Sonic Adventure 2, the big rocket in (Metal Harbor, I think it was)? Sonic didn't technically trash that...

I still can't figure out what the hell "Scrap Brain" is supposed to mean.

Well, does that rocket really count as a vehicle? It doesn't appear to have any personell area on it, and the same civilization had space shuttles so it couldn't have been a small capsule atop the thing. (Plus, he did wreck part of it; there's a possibility the bar he was hanging onto was a vital sensor or guidance arm or something.)

Wow. I never realized how many zone names were flat-out retarded.

There's the space shuttle in SA2 (Although that does get damaged, I wouldn't say it was that bad, unless it crashes when we're not watching. And the Ark manages to stay in orbit during SA2 (Despite Gerald's attempts).

I still can't figure out what the hell "Scrap Brain" is supposed to mean. Scrap Brain is easy. It's made from the scraps of Eggman's empire, as the outskirts of his fortress. Notice that the only new enemy that appears only does so near the end of the level. Huge Crisis is the NAME of the battleship. The battleship is, in itself, a floating crisis; I thought it was very suiting for a warship. Relate to me why exactly a large battleship ISN'T a huge crisis? Anyone else?

There's the space shuttle in SA2 (Although that does get damaged, I wouldn't say it was that bad, unless it crashes when we're not watching. And the Ark manages to stay in orbit during SA2 (Despite Gerald's attempts). Well, technically it does lose all propulsion (as all shuttles do), and is left abandoned in a field of asteroids capable of destroying it's cargo doors, which are pretty tough. I wouldn't think it survived. Also, suddenly losing pressure (there must've been atmosphere in there if Knuckles was in there with the emerald shards) can't be good. Also, keep in mind that in the end ARK's entire front was gone, the cannon was locked and jammed, the front was blown up from Biolizard, everything the players could destroy had already been destroyed, parts of it were flooded, the reactor (or whatever it was, I can't remember anymore) had been screwed up by Tails, and Gerald's programming had locked all of the controls. That's without mentioning the damage to the outside hull caused by hitting the atmosphere so hard the outside of it was clearly catching fire. Plus there's the whole "parts of the moon and outside of ARK are likely in orbit of Earth considering the planet hasn't perished in a fiery oblivion" bit. I'd call that pretty well wrecked; even the Egg Carrier took less damage than that and it was unable to take off. I'm sorry, it's the geek in me.

The Ark wasn't actually that damaged, though. Sure, some small parts are destroyed in the course of the levels, but the structure itself was still okay. The part that was blown off when the Eclipse Cannon was activated clearly wasn't an actual part of the station. (Otherwise why would the revealed face look like a... face?) And everything that was blown off during the final boss battle appears to be magically restored after it gets Chaos Control'd back into its proper place. Don't know what to say about the controls, although that's arguably not the characters' fault ;P
This is, of course, ignoring anything that may have been revealed in Shadow, as I haven't played that yet.

It's still OK in Shadow. In fact, it becomes a fairly important part of the plot.
