“I’ve told you before, Ensign, call it life support when on the bridge.”
“Environmental controls are exceeding normal parameters and hydration levels are rapidly being depleted.”
"Kiff! I told you to use your sexy voice when discussing life support so I’ll pay attention!
“Now, inform the men that short shorts are mandatory.”
There’s actually truth to that. In a vacuum, heat doesn’t convect and can only radiate away. Assuming all systems aren’t down, then you’re more likely to roast than freeze from all the heat from other equipment and such building up.
How quickly would the crew boil alive without active cooling?
You’ve got
- Lots of electrical equipment
- Lots of body heat
- A fucking matter anti matter reactor
- Secondary fusion reactors.
On a ship with no physical radiators.
Doesn’t it happen in an episode or two? It gets hot, but at a cinematic pace lol
I’ve had a few old cars where you had to turn off the AC in order to accelerate fast enough to use a highway on-ramp. presumably if you get a lemon of a starship off craigslist, you need to disable life support to go to warp
Divert all available power from life support to warp drive
