Air vent power usage
It would be awful nice if when you have a room with 20 airvents in it. and your engineer is breathing... it would be nice if BREATHING didn't require 100kw of power for each of those airvents.
As the game is now, if you are working in a large pressurized hangar with one airvent, it takes a a very long time to pressurize/despressurize. That's fine. Makes sense, so you put 20 airvents in there. Each one uses 100kw to pressureize/depressurize the room, but once pressurized. All 20 vents continue to use 100kw of power. Because their power usage is not tied to actual usage.
So my room with 20 vents. I pressurize it. Then I turn off the vents, and breath the oxygen already in the room. Then I turn the vents back on to depressurize.
Awesome that I can "fix" that in game, using the game. Very pleased about that, however, it would be nice if the airvent power usage was related to what it's actually doing. That would make more sense, and be less frustrating overall.
