Hardspace: Shipbreaker - How To Survive Radiation, Depressurization, And Other Hazards

gamespot.com:

Shipbreaking in Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a dangerous job, and it doesn’t help that these spacecraft seem to have been made with some questionable safety protocol. Reactors, pressurized cabins, electrical devices, explosive fuel tanks. One wrong move and you may be sending the whole ship into the furnace in pieces. That’s after Lynx Corp pulls another one of your clones from its petri dish and sends you back to work.

Here is a run-down of the hazards you will bump into in Hardspace: Shipbreaker and how to deal with them. Note that these aren’t the only things in the game that can kill you. Gravity is, and will forever be, your greatest enemy. However, knowing how to navigate the various temperamental systems of the various ships will improve your odds of surviving your shift.

While explosive depressurization might not sound that scary from the sealed comfort of your spacesuit, it’s the explosive part you need to be afraid of. Explosive depressurization is when the atmosphere kept within a cabin of a ship is suddenly sucked out into the vacuum of space. Anything in the cabin is going to make a quick trip towards whatever hole you just made, and if you are hapless enough to be directly in its path, then you might get a closer look than you intended as it smashes through your visor.

In order to safely depressurize a ship, first, you need to safely enter through the airlocks. The airlocks ensure that any atmosphere within stays where it’s needed.
