We know we can be blown to pieces in the game, but can we also die of asphyxia if our life support system is damaged in battle?asked by Kanisha

Chris RobertsCEO / Game Director

So yes, the answer is yes. The idea is we have all these ship systems on the ship. And so the ship systems are obvious things like engines, power plants, shields, weapons. We've talked about cooling, radars, avionics. So avionics would be things like your flight control system, targeting, weapon control systems, targeting software, but also life support is included, and we have all these individually modeled and they all communicate with each other. And so the life support goes to the cockpit module, and if that gets damaged, then yes, you're in trouble, and then you'll be essentially, if you have a space suit, you'll be on your space suit's air supply, and when that's up, you're dead. So if your life support gets taken out, then you probably would want to head out of the battle as quickly as possible, I would say.
