Default Actual effects of Vacuum Support

Hey folks, looking for some answers on what exactly vacuum support does.

From B437, there are three hazards in vacuum: suffocation, explosive decompression, and extreme temperatures.

Now, that section does say
Quote:
"If you are exposed to vacuum without protection (e.g., a vacc suit or the Vacuum Support advantage), the following rules apply."
However, the rules for vacuum support say you need Doesn't Breathe because VS itself doesn't give an air supply. Similarly, VS's rules say you typically would have Temperature Tolerance. If you need TT, then the extreme temps, I assume, also isn't solved by VS.
  1. So does VS only mitigate the explosive decompression part? Does it do nothing for temperature nor suffocation?
  2. Also, that would seem to me you need TT, VS, and Doesn't Breathe (or Breath Holding or something to that effect) to be "safe" in vacuum?
  3. What does Sealed in the case of simple vacuum do?

Thanks in advance!
