Arrivals Shuttle Emergency Hatch Controls

[Fortport]

Give us an emergency switch/button that unbolts and opens the airlocks, regardless of station power. Say it's powered by its own battery. After all, the shuttle has enough power to leave if nobody's on it.

This prevents people from being locked up for long periods of time. If the vacuum of space is an issue, that's why there are space suits and loads of oxygen tanks/masks in the lockers. If pressure is an issue, it would most likely even out once it gets back to the main base(once it sucks in pressure).

[Mwahahahaha]

I imagine this might help get the thing flying back if it means more people join from Odin and prevent all manners of absolute agony and supreme misery.

Is the switch/button going to be on the inside of the shuttle or on the station's side? Or both?

I don't even know what the current state of this is considering it's been over a year.

I'd say have it work similarly to crowbarring an airlock, but have it take a longer. Have a few status messages like "You unfasten the access hatch...." "You insert the manual override crank..." "You crank the hatch open"
