As someone who is a firefighter in real life, I'm actually surprised they got it right. This is the most realistic representation **so far** in a game how fire looks and travels. I think the last time I was that amazed was Farcry 2's fire system.

Quick PSA: buy a fire extinguisher if you don't have one in your home already.

[TheKookyman]

if you too saw the Disaster Girl meme and you did the Pointing DiCaprio meme

Gameplay people. Give us missions + careers where we're firefighters! Putting out fires in buildings, ships, forrests, etc. Rescuing people. We needs it!

Setting fire to a whole ship with just the plushie seems a bit too easy.. should require higher temps than that.

FAA in the past (now): You have to put self-extinguish materials on your aircraft. Flammable materials are forbidden.
People in the future: Yeah, we don't do that.

Cant wait to find out how complicated the UX designers manage to make the process of handling fire extinguishers

13:44 "as long as servers dont die because of fire" You know servers will catch huge desync and die KEKW

[TheDonaldHarris]

Out of curiosity... why don't these ships have fire suppressing systems? Like it you know the ships with reactors on them should have something to suppress a fire?

[TerrorMango]

Star CItizen development in a nutshell: "We made a system for ship interiors to auto-combust in environments we don't have". XD

[HardMode..]

I can't think of anything less important than this for CIG to be working on, fix master modes= get rid of it, and finish armor and stealth for ships, fix combat and make a proper economy, crafting professions and a cross server auction house, let's go

[DayLateGamerWill]

Woa, so wait a sec - does that mean the room system is coming online with the fire system?

[Syncronocity]

I wasn't aware metal was so flammable...

[Nayrock]

I am really excited to have more mechanics like this in the game. I hope they release ice mining soon to refine into fuel and oxygen for ships to use. Ice needs it's debut!!

[Erothan]

Planned: 140 systems

Systems available after +10 years of development: 2

I appreciated Francesco's explanation about planning for networking the fire tech.

Jared is so personable, he makes the devs laugh and puts them at ease. It makes for much nicer interviews, so thanks to all involved.

[Sludgebuster]

So what I'm seeing: Pizza in 4.0???

[vikD]

I love the fire system. I hope there's something in mind for fire suppression systems down the road. Maybe by manufacturer? I can see Drake ignoring it.

2:35 --> In short, we will have *a **_Crematoria_** Planet* in the future :p
