Emergency help needed

[Cmdr Nemo]

Hi, I have 5 minutes oxygen remaining after my canopy got blown out. Is there anything I can do to fix it or am I doomed ? :/

Though this entire thread kept me spell bound, I came away wondering how does one loose their canopy out in the middle of extreme deep space.

I never understood why the entire ship explodes just because your spacesuit runs out of air....

I have a video coming that shows the moment. Will upload soon as I get time.

What a great read. Well done cmd'ers. I bet that was buttock clenching.

Glad it worked out!

So I take it afmu or reboot/repair doesn't fix a canopy at 0%? Only repair limpets?

Nothing you can do in the field can fix a broken canopy. AFMU can touch up a cracked one so long as it isn't blown out yet, but if it goes, only docking somewhere with repair services can fix it.

Abrupt difference in pressure ? Mind, it would probably implode rather than explode. Like an empty pop can in a strong hand.

That's pretty rough that field repairs cannot fix a blown out canopy. I thought for sure repair limpets would but I guess not! I guess the best solution is to always stay on top of any repairs in the field! Piggy, was your canopy already partly damaged? Or did it get blown out all at once?

Didn’t see this till now. Great story! Great ending!

Blown out all at once. My ship was 100% before the incident.

This reconstruction video of the event uses actual footage recorded from inside the exclusion zone of the neutron star including the canopy blowing out.
Hope you enjoy.

Wow, I completely missed this thread.

If it costs 5 billion + 20 million a week to save a life, I'd say that's more than worth it.

Canopy 100%

YES!

Holy mother of God. I can't thank you guys enough! I did not think it possible.
Weeks / months of data saved! All thanks to you.
Thankyou Godger and Maolagin and others but especially Zannry for your more than generous offer to come help me.

Can't believe I made it.

Guys o7

Game working as intended
