mines?

Certainly some rad zones are stronger than others, some rad zones are also centered around an emiting object, as is the case with the neutron star, if you stay on the fringe your hull degredation is slight, but get in closer to loot that hulk, and just watch your hull fall away.

Thanks for the replies so far. I've never taken much notice how close I was to radiation-emitting sources, but it makes sense that the closer you get, the faster you die.

I suppose the light on the left could be for mines, but I'm quite sure that I've been in minefields before without having the light on...

Weird.

Gah, I can't think of what that indicator on the left is for! I've seen it and KNOW what it is, but for some reason I can't freaking remember! I think it is only in multiplayer, though.

I have only seen it once, hmm...perhaps it is when you are close to the big mines and when you crash into planets?

I think the light on the left flashes when someone is aiming at you.
I keep seeing the little light, and then a second later I'm taking enemy fire.

Is it the one with the little arrows? That one means you're close enough to trade goods with another player.

In MP, if it's laggy, you might get a flashing warning on the top left of your Neural Net that looks like a networking icon (a picture of two computers connected by some wires). If that's not it, just mouse over the warning in question and you'll see a breif description at the extreme top left of your Neural Net.

"If I wanted your damned opinion, I'da beaten it out of you."

it can't be only for when you're close enough to trade goods, because I have seen it in SP as well. It does look like a little arrow, but how can it be for trading goods in SP?

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the little flashing icon on the upper left side that indicates whether or not you're lagging. If it's yellow, it's tolerable; if it's red, you have a problem; if it's permanently flashing red, you've been disconnected. Surely, some of must have seen something like this in games like Quake.

Also, on the radiation, anyone notice how you don't receive -any- radiation when you're near one of the bases in the system that's completely radioactive, and yet you still get the radiation warning? (Omicron Theta?)

i dont think he is talking about the lag warning icon, i think its the one where you see some red line in a red circle going from the bottom left to the top right. i have only seen it in the very beginning of the game on SP, in probably the first 2 parts of the first story mission. i want to know what that is too.

gee, that guy's cool.

I know what warning light you are talkting about but I also don't know what its for... you see it alot in mission 1 in SP. kinda looks like a red line with a dot on each end ._. but diaganal. shows on the left side. Never got a good look at it though. It flashes too fast. You see it throughout the story while you are in combat but No idea what it is...

yeah, thats it. all we have to do now is find out what it means

gee, that guy's cool.

never seen a warning light flash on the left other than the lag indicator ...curious to know what u guys are talking about ....

same here...

presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$
