hmm I see. Ijust assumed the people inside where with the people outside attacking. since I don't see why they would hang around if the station is being fired upon.
also why would they keep oxygen tanks on the outside of the station where they are vulnerable? they would still have to rupture the hull in which case the vacuum of space would once more work much more expediently than dwindling oxygen. also sincemost of these places are running on biosphere setups they wouldn't really have huge oxygen tanks, and the ones they did have would be placed deep in the station since they are essential for life support. not on the periphary were they can easily be targeted by outside targets.
so if they were hit and caused to explode you would have had to penetrate the hull once more facing the vacuum of space problem.
for ambient oxygen to be depleted by respiration would take an extremely long period of time. more than a few minutes.
