Will our ships have the ability to sound alarms before a room like the cargo bay is depressurized?
TL;DRShips need an alarm before events like cargo bay depressurization, which can be switched off from a security MFD (e.g. to vent on boarders), but basic depressurization is all that exists now and there's no known date for that MFD.
Yeah, definitely. We've got very basic depressurization in-game at the moment with the room system and our doors. As people have probably noticed, if you're in the staff area and you keep opening and closing that back door, the air runs out and it doesn't refill at the moment, which is something we need to fix. But yes, we need to ensure that there is an alarm of some kind before big events like that happen, unless it's specifically turned off; there are going to be people that want to surprise people by doing it. For normal everyday use, just opening it, it's going to give alarms. If you want to turn off the alarms and vent it yourself to repel boarders, you don't want to let them know what's going on. Again, that will come back to that security MFD: alarms off in this room, open the doors.
So when are we getting the security MFD?
Good question. I do not know.
