Life Support

Function
Life support is used to supply air to a ship. Crew will gradually deplete the air in the four squares in which they stand. Air can also be lost from a hull breach. Without air, the crew will slowly take damage and eventually die. Each tile has between 0 and 255 air, with the color gradually turning dark, then red and striped as it approaches zero. When the room is marked with stripes, it means you will take damage from lack of air, unless you manage to replenish the air or have a suit with a built in O2 supply

Life support modules have a certain amount of internal power storage. When a life support unit is in use, it will drain power from the storage. It generates a few units of air per energy, depending on the tier of the Life support module.

For very packed ships with very little breathing room to begin with, one life support unit should suffice. For large ships with large corridors or empty areas that might get decompressed in battle, it is recommended to have a large supply of life support units handy.
