Hey @elonmusk why can't the Booster QD on the OLM be used to start the center 13 engines?
In other words, the launch mount would be responsible for starting all 33 engines instead of just the outer 20🤷🏾♂️. COPV's would only used for boost back and landing burns.

Agreed, we recently made this change & many others.
An intense effort is underway to achieve robust engine containment in case of RUD to protect booster, other engines & launch ring.
