    Well I started thinking about if/when an air system was implemented how damage to your exterior shell could make it dificult to get around a larger ship's hallways even for the simple task of repairing the breach itself. So it occurred to me that there could be "automatic" doors that act just like the normal door, except that it opens automatically when you approach it, like in Star Treck. This way you could place them in hallways around larger vessels to block off areas that have had the air evacuated, allowing you to move around the rest of your ship.

    The automatic funtion would just make it easier to move around your larger ship without having to constantly turn around to close your doors; the doors would also function like normal doors by pressing "activate". It could also only open automatically if it was safe to do so, eg if you approach a section whose air has been evacuated, the door wouldnt open for you but would still operate like normal ones if you activated it. Of course these doors could also have faction functionality.

    It\'d be nice if you could link hulls to the doors so when the hulls are stepped on the door would activate

    It would work just with a proximity check. When you arrive in the space adjacent it opens. Think of it like the on screen indicator to activate something. That senses when you are close, and the door could work just the same way.
