Fridge Logic: Tenno Can Hang Around In Space, Suffering No Harm. But Break A Window, And Everyone Loses Their Mind.

[Chroia]

I mean, admittedly depressurization takes a while to kill you, but it does kill you.

But standing in empty space doesn't.

 

Is it the negative Feng Shui of the angular, linear corridors that does it?

 

The friction the escaping air causes to your shields?

(If so, explain Volt's Speed not harming you.)

 

Is it psychosomatic?

(The Tenno used to be human, and humans believe that vacuum will kill them (with good reason).

(If so, explain why it does shield damage.))

 

Is it Gameplay and Story Segregation Gameplay and other Gameplay Segregation something else?

Archwings have built in life support hence the reason you don't die in space.

Arch wing comes with a life support system, it is hinted by the blue energy in the trailer and a codex entry, it gives the impression arch wing can create an area with oxygen around the warframe, which would explain why you can hear sounds produce by you and your weapon.

[Rydian]

Mag Prime's codex entry is the one in question that vaguely mentions them having built-in life support.

Archwings have life support

That's why breaking a window, or running out of life support results in you dying, whereas being on an archwing doesn't.

Maybe your archwing boosts your shield energie, while without it your shields can't handle space ;-)

[Wiegraf]

The Archwing provides life support functions to the Warframe.

 

As for breaking windows, it's either the loss of air or the actual decompression which deals damage (though it lasts as long as the shutters are closed so that's a REALLY LONG decompression). It's the same as being exposed to sudden high pressures or from high pressures to extremely low ones; that can kill you outright.

Pretty much these. I always assumed that Warframes have built in life support, but their own built-in shield generator aren't robust enough to keep the wearer protected from a decompressed environment; basically the rate at which the shield recharges isn't a rate high enough to protect the wearer from the physically damaging effects of being in a vacuum or retain a portion of air to breathe.

 

When attached to the Archwing, the Warframe's built in shield generator is supplemented by a much larger, much more powerful reactor which essentially supercharges the Warframe's shields so that they are stable and recharge faster when exposed to a vacuum. The shields both protect the wearer and create a small atmospheric bubble to retain air and prevent it from escaping.

 

"But what about Oxygen?! The Warframe will still suffocate!" - No, it won't. Rebreather technology (air recycling/scrubbing) already exists, and we're dabbling in artificial photosynthesis as well (converting CO₂ to O₂), and considering how far in the future Warframe takes place, it's not that far fetched to say that the Archwing or even Warframes have built in rebreathers.

 

Basically the Archwing supplies the Warframe with enough power to maintain its own atmospheric bubble, and it supplies an apparatus which allows the recycling/resynthesizing of air.

 

And that's why a Warframe can survive in space with an Archwing, but not without.

Couldn't say it better...now I wish I said it first :/

^ this. Nuff said /thread

Also standard archwing mission is 30 minutes long max? There are people on earth today who can voluntarily hold thier breath for 24 minutes.

 

I saw a BBC special feature a few years ago on some female pearl/abalone divers in a Asian country a few years ago who would dive under water for as much as 30 minutes and they done this daily during for a means of income.

 

Being that tenno are as unique as they are. Who's to say they havent reached that level of endurance. The broken window thing would be causing a vacuum effect which if the tenno is being held to the floor of a ship by magnetised boots or suction cups that would explain the tenno slowly taking shield/health damage but not dieing. As the vacuum would just be sucking your physical energy away.

 

But im no physics expert.. :3

[SSI_Kryptix]

Even if archwings dont have builtin life support, I wouldnt complain, cause there are more nonsensical things if you rely on logic, a game cant evolve if you depend on the game to be constructed logic wise.

[Corvid]

Amusingly, there was a glitch in U15 that meant that depressurisation did no damage. It didn't even trigger a lockdown!
