Jun 28, 2018 at 10:48 | comment | added | Korthalion | Spitting a flaming liquid around in zero-G isn't going to do you or your buddies any favours either. Sure it might originally go in the right direction but burning humans tend to flail, which would send burning accelerant in all directions. | |

Jun 28, 2018 at 6:01 | comment | added | Daniel B | It seems a bit of an unfair statement in wake of my suggesting nerve gas. But my main concerns were that fires on a space station are a Really Bad Thing. You're going to eat up a lot of oxygen. It can spread in any direction, instead of primarily burning upwards. In a forced-air atmosphere, you have plenty of convection to take it everywhere. Smoke spreads everywhere, turning visibility to shit. The temperature will rise really quickly, since it's an enclosed space. Shipboard fires already cause the most total losses in naval situations. Space is even worse. | |

Jun 28, 2018 at 5:31 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | @DanielB Why? I am honestly and sincerely curious. | |
Jun 28, 2018 at 5:18 | comment | added | Daniel B | You really, really, really, do not want to use a flamethrower on the same space station as you happen to be on. | |
