Fire

Fire is a game mechanic. It can be started by weapons fire against modules that don't have any armor or modules with armor that doesn't provide any fire protection (such as wood). Lightning strikes can also start a fire. A fire will slowly damage the module. If the fire isn't put out, it will slowly spread, automatically killing all crew members it touches. Fires can be put out with a fire point module or a fire extinguisher. It's spread can be limited by fire doors.
