Is radiation really so bad?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Is radiation really so bad?

So, I got stucked in Nomad system (or whatever it is called), but...
My ship is Titan and weapons kick ass! - but... it's the radiaton that
bugs me, not the Nomads! After 30 secs, my left wing just fall off! Shield
and hull are at maximum. Is that a bug in game or a bug in Titan !?
Everything so wonderfull and then I hear "Turet lost", 'Missile lost',
'Gun lost', everything is falling apart. Is there a solution for this?

lol - if your hull is at maximum whilst guns, missiles and other ordinance is falling apart - you might want to try turning off the hull enhancement. Radiation eats your hull away too - and typically you die without losing a wing, as they don't 'fall off' that easy, well, they never did when i let radiation eat me down to death..

maximize your health & shield ships, use nanobots manually

Nomads are no problem huh?

Everyone hates radation because, unlike hostile fighters, you can't stop it from hurting you.

/-Entropy-/ -> to late for that, but I will try the next time.
I can't even reach the nearest jump hole before by ship brakes
apart and I found no radiation-free place 5K around my ship.
So much savegame slots, and I have only one.Will I have to
start again? - no way! I'll try to make something out of that...

Chips -> hull enhancement? what is that thing? have beaten the
game but never heard of that! turning it off? how? where? I'm
just lost and almost dead in space with no planets or docking
stations... just radiation, and Nomads

BlazeME -> yes, that's right! In my situation Nomads are easy
targets, bacause I have better shileds, the same guns and the
asteroid field is partly protecting me... I can handle a group
of 5 Nomads wihout a problem - it's just takes time...

So, I came to conclusion there's no way out of this. Next time
I hear 'Radiation damage detected', I'll just reverse thrusters
and move away... thanks anyway...

This ain't exactly legit , but anyway .....

You COULD use the invincibility cheat to get out of the system and then turn it off at the next base

With a level 10 shield and a full complement of bots you should be able to stay in in the Unknown systems long enough to kill a number of nomad ships before heading back through the jump hole. The southern system is the easier system. Stay near Primus and dock directly after fighting. When you exit again they'll be another set waiting for you. You should be able to kill off at least three or four sets of six nomads each before your Hull bots run out.

There are 2 Unknown systems, the one with radiations and the one with Primus & Gammu. The one with radiation has a jump hole in Omicron Alpha and the one with Primus and Gammu is in Omicron Gamma. If you can get to Omicron Gamma and use the jump hole to that Unknown system, you don't have to worry about radiation, just nomads.

DJC and [ZN-Viper, I appreciate your solutions to my problem, but as I said
there was nothing around me, no stations, no planets, no jump holes, no
jump gates, no... nothing, just Nomads, LOTS of them! Also, 30 seconds is not
enough to dock to anything, even if it's 5k from me! ALSO, my hull power and
shields were on maximum, I was constantly pressing keys for bats and bots, and
then the damn thing happens. I red a lot of posts what I should have done
earlier or what to do now, but none of them helped me. I deleted that savegame
a long time ago, so the problem no longer exists! Thanks anyway...
