Fire Suppression Systems

[Kovirii]

Alternatively, if you could turn off life support for a similar effect (since, yknow, fire shouldn't be possible in a vacuum) or just allow this fire suppression system as an alternative part to add in place of Life Support. Good for if you're a miner, where you plan on wearing a space suit in the pod anyway.

Vent all the oxygen, get cold, maybe a little burned by hot and cold, and save the day.

Why doesn't a passenger or the pilot using a fire extinguisher really fight the fire? I don't guess you can repair a pod from the inside either?

A fire suppression system. Basically, whenever your pod catches fire, normally from taking too much damage, the fire suppression system would activate, extinguishing the flames in and on the pod.

This might be a bit complicated, but would the suppression system take another canister (or just a fire extinguisher, or even plasma tank filled with firefighting foam) and use it up? Or would it just recharge over time?
