Radiation - Cursetantine - 04-07-2017
What are your thoughts on radiation being a purely cosmetic feature in the game? I think it should be more severe, so -at least a snub pilot- would think twice before walking in one, plus it would gain a strategic value too.

So caps have a place to hide from bombers, making bombers an even less useful pick for anti-cap work than other capitals?

It's good the way it is. Remember that most radiation is highly reduced by shields. If you're on a snub and your shields drop in a radiation zone, it is way more dangerous.

In lore, just pointing that out to avoid confusing any newbies. As far as actual game mechanics go, radiation bypasses shields completely.

Nope. Wrong. It's a mechanic. It also does the same when in the sun corona.
RE: Radiation - Sombs - 04-07-2017
Nope, also ingame. If you stay for too long in a more dangerous radiation zone and allow it to fry off your equipment, the hull will be damaged way - WAY faster than with shields.
Like, remember the videos I showed you about my project. ;3

What if the damage type will be different so that shields will protect the ship from it (as in no damage ) and when shields are gone for any reason the damage will be quite a lot , as in enough to destroy a battleship in 1 min ?
RE: Radiation - Sombs - 04-08-2017
Not possible. The damage-over-time to shield-damage-reduction ratio is hardcoded.

Nah! Cant see it. Flying a transport and threatened by pirates - just head into a radiation zone and wait for the snubs to die.. Would ruin bombers.
