In the modern-day, on our ships, military and civilian we have automatic detection and suppression systems, why are we using Manual fire extinguishers in the 31st century? In the navy and coast guard as well as merchant marine/civilian ships we have specific compartments designated for Firing fighting systems, AFF Storage tanks to supply systems where fuel is used or the potential to have A Class B fire, we have automatic Electrical isolation systems, manual and automatic, bridge, and DCC (damage control Central controls or indicators showing us if something has been detected etc . We have refrigerant detection and purging systems in the event of gas leaks etc. Obviously there's no water supply in space outside the ship but considering it's been over 900 years and a Sci-fi game, I think forcing extinguisher use is a bit.... Well ridiculous. Yes we can vent rooms and deprive the fire of one of its sources of combustion, Class E fire will keep going or posing a risk till power is isolated which it seems like we have the ability to doing game. I really don't see why there isn't a automatic fire suppression system in atleast some of the larger /military inspired ships... Clealry the same modern naval damage control and ship board fire fighting would evolve when ships become spacefareing.. Or am I over thinking it.. #StarCitizen
