Vox trading floor is not practically and safely usable. #2951

Closed Exxion closed 9 years ago

Exxion commented 9 years ago

Unless I'm an idiot and missed something, there is no (practical) way to use the trading floor on the Vox trading post. Even opening a window over a table between the trading floor and the actual Vox area for a couple seconds will transfer enough air to render the Vox side uninhabitable to Vox until the atmos system cleans out the oxygen (which it doesn't even do by default). The Vox could just don suits before engaging in trading and wait out the decontamination afterwards, I suppose, but it takes several minutes and the doors cannot be opened without contaminating the entire outpost. It seems much more practical to just make a proper airlock between the two sides and ditch the table system entirely. That or make the processing room much smaller, give it more scrubbers, and label the doors in a way that suggests they should not be opened while trading is in progress or afterwards.

EDIT: Since it's not that hard a fix, it would probably make a good first contribution. If nobody replies to this or something in a few days, I'll just fix it myself. I'd go ahead and do it, but I'm too busy and probably will be for a few days.

OK, nobody has really looked at this, so I guess I'll attempt to fix it myself today or tomorrow.
