Fires

[Rai]

So I thinked about it and... we really need a way to stop fires since fire extinguishers don't help at all when theres huge plasma fire... we need a new way to stop the plasma fire and reduce temperature... it's annoying to wait for fire to end and then die by the temperature...

When it comes to fires, the whole event of dealing with it revolves around teamwork. It's not impossible or even hard if the crew work together in getting rid of the plasma with air scrubbers and putting out the fires en-masse.

[Rai]

Yeah but it's future there should be better ways to stop fires than water...

[kevsop]

Brand new invention. Space Water.

I found a technique on how to rapidly deal with fires.

Having more than one guy with two extinguishers do shit. As in, two people with one extinguisher each. Not that tough.

[Rai]

Oh btw it would be more realistic if fires would make smoke

[Ruler]

Because we can code smoke in like that easily.

[DrunkenFlyingDemoman]

Fires already give everybody without a gas mask Internal combustion- Wait, i mean, Burning Lungs

We don't need smoke

This is a foolproof way, but it requires an atmos tech, which no one except for a handful of people seem to play. You know that freezer in atmos? Plug a nitrogen canister into it at the lowest temperature. The gas will chill and compress leaving you with about half left, but you can fill it up and repeat. Usually O2 will be removed when the panic siphon starts. The lack of O2 and the chilled N2 will burn out the fire. Combine that with one or two people with fire extinguishers, the mightiest fires can be stopped.

I noticed fires are kind of fast to go out, though.
Like, RnD had a plasma leak and a fire started. Fire completely consumed that one part of RnD, but after it consumed it, it instantly started burning out.
I think the fire should stay for a good few minutes before going poof so there's more danger from fire and no point in waiting it out.

well, the fire is fast to go out because the plasma that cause the fire is limited, but when there is a plasma flood, like in malf rounds, fire will be a pain in the ass to deal with, I think the fire is fine now, it doesn't really need a buff.
