I was thinking there'd just be more room than would ever be used for pods, and if you try and go beyond it you get, I dunno, some kind of humourous error? Station's run out of pod licenses? I wonder if it would be possible for pod space to kind of be instanced, so each person/pair of people would only see each other, fire would only be visible to and affect people whose pods are actually on fire, that kind of thing. It wouldn't need to be actual simulated fire the way normal station fire is, anyway, just the fire graphics and everyone inside taking heat damage. Ghosts just wouldn't be able to get into the pod area, and observing people would obviously mean you see only what they're seeing.
