I know alot of other servers have pressure included in code, similar to cold or oxygen.
Instead of this, I think it'd be cool if we could contract an ailment from standing on a space tile too long if ones not wearing proper suits, that's related to pressure damage... instead of just simply burning.
Even more interesting is pressure damage in space isn't as much as one would think, and you certainly wouldn't get physically damaged like you do in other servers.
An intresting read:

"He later said that his last conscious memory was of the water on his tongue beginning to boil."
The ailment would be decompression sickness. If you were 100, and you stood on a space tile, then the time it would take to reach orangered would be the time it kicks in. The indication that you contracted decompression sickness is as so:
The blood on your tongue feels like it is boiling
The symptoms would be joint pains. How this would be implemented in the game would be switching from run to walk randomly:
Your joints ache!
Also vomiting from the vertigo. Because everyone likes vomit.
So while not detrimental to your life, it could be a nuisance. The cure for this, (and in real life) would be oxygen treatment. So Perfluorocarbon? Another use for the stronger oxygenating drug is good right?
Just something to acknowledge pressure while not being totally obnoxious, and gives medical doctors something to work with as space exposure is quite common.
