There is a weird bug in the DGIV i just found, in case it wasn't reported earlier, here is the story:

A DGIV took of the Earth heading for Mars. As there is not realistically enough oxygen on board for the trip, a standard
payload-shaped life support system was attached to it's docking port.
Instead of recommended procedure of going into safe mode, the crew just left both airlock doors opened into the docked
module, and proceeded to kill time at a rate of 100000X per second.

But it didn't last a second before they were all dead, as the cabin was suddenly filled with huge amount of anti-oxygen:


Well, any ideas what this could be?

that happens sometimes when you foward time up really fast, you just have to make sure to keep the camera inside
the cockpit for at least a minute to make sure that the crew is ok, ok?

Excuse me, but what is a "standard life support system"? A vessel docked with DGIV and both DGIV hatches open?

I belive that he meant a payload, and as we all know, payloads, when docked to, have unlimited fuel and O2 (Maybe
N2 as well? I do not know...).

Any way, to the problem at hand. I do not know what caused this problem, but I do know a solution... in theory. Ok,
get off you knees, and stop calling "messiah". James will do. The solution is this: Keep your airlock closed! Then simply
start a O2 transfer, from the payload to the DGIV. That should fix it. The transfer switches are the funny knobs (not
noobs!) under the O2 Display. You know, the thing with the blue bars.
