Tell everyone on board to get in their space suits as in T- (time until venting) the atmosphere will be purged into space to stop the fires. It will then be repressirized. EZ
Why dont they just vent the atmosphere in burning starports.

Probably a bit dangerous to depressurise a structure several kilometers long and wide.
Venting a massive structure multiple kilos in size could possibly destabilize it, plus some of the fires could be actively being fueled by something that could continue to burn with low oxygen, like corrosion or exotic future chemicals. Plus it would take a long time to vent a structure that large, possibly not making it worth the effort.
hrm. I'd think the idea would be to repair them and claim them as your own for a nominal registration fee.
This could be done in a way that has these defunct settlements as non-persistent instances generated pseudorandomly for players until they decide to register a claim ....then it becomes persistent like a carrier...with players limited to one claim at a time. And at any time they can abondon their claim (though they get no refund) and the settlement is dismantled by magic npcs.
You'd get to name your settlement, customize it, etc all similar to fleet carriers, But it would be ground based.
So could an exposed reactor and pure oxygen fires melting said structure
I would have assumed aspects of the structural integrity of something as large as a station would require pressurisation... suffice to say any fluid systems are going to have a hard day.
... well... i do know... it's because they don't have a damaged station skin that doesn't have thargoid damage scarring... but maybe we could have that instead of ship skins for once? Oh right... people can't pay for that...
Incidentally, I'm surprised assets belonging to factions in the Terror Attack/ Civil Unrest/ Infrastructure Failure states don't go into a Repair state, requiring delivery of an amount of commodities like usual.

Given the entire dock is pressurised and appears to be based on an inflated chamber depressurisation might make it difficult to get in/out.
Not to mention the effects on panicking survivors.

They dont vent it from a small building in a settlement and you expect them to vent a whole station?
Station ? What are we talking about?
The biggest stations I've visited at Odyssey have only one two-story hall. Even some of the buildings are bigger than that.
The OP is about venting atmosphere from the burning starports
I like the potenial game play element to this idea also....and assuming the fires are located to specfic sections, perhaps the starport can vent from only those sections.
S!
I mean, everything in the game is conditional and may not obey physics and logic.
The fusion fires burn with out the Air supply... so the fires won't go out any way...
They have to wait for the fusion supply to expire...
Thats why the out side of stations also burn...

Not if it's structurally sound
You humans...
The good news is we put out the fires.
The bad news is that we accidently spaced a few people in the process.
The good news is it would take longer to repressurize the station than there is air in the standard emergency suit. (good news wat? see next bad news)
The bad news is the depresurrisation pushed our trajectory into an unstable orbit and we'll be crashing into the planet soon.

So the fires will be out and there will be air?
A few starports have been doing experiments with venting the air these last few weeks, and the managed to extinguish the fires straight away. Sadly CMDRs were unhappy about this, asking "why are the starports not on fire!" and "where are our rescue missions!", so we ended up setting the stations back on fire to calm them down. HTH.
Ah politics. The more things change the more they stay the same.
