Ship Air and Power
The cabin has an air tank and a charge. Life support spends charge to keep the air good; thrusters spend charge to fly.
Inside a sealed cabin with working Life Support you can breathe anywhere, including space. The air tank slowly empties while you're aboard breathing it, and life support draws a little charge while it runs. Refill the tank at a base.
Lasting longer
- A Dense Cell holds far more, so a trip out is longer.
- A Power Rack holds three cells instead of one, so a trip back is rarer.
- A Regulator makes the scrubbers sip instead of gulp, so neither trip is as often.
