radiation shielding upgrade

[crackshotcerberus]

I am quoting the documentation for star traders for this one.
"For centuries, spacers from all Quadrants have always strongly believed the tradition that drinking Water-Fuel is the only sure way to protect themselves from radiation, space sickness, inertia madness, and other grim hazards of the void. While the medical and scientific grounds for this might be doubted, the firm belief in the tradition amongst spacers is unshakeable. There is no surer way to break the Morale of a space Crew than to withdraw their daily rations of Water-Fuel."

Maybe have an upgrade that makes you immune to radiation storms and reduces crew usage of water fuel. After all if they are not worried about radiation then they would drink less water fuel. If there is a flaw in my logic go ahead and tell me, I am sleep deprived after finally getting a character that doesn't die all the time. (trying to unlock things by playing on insane)

I would say the flaws are that Spacers will drink Water-Fuel no matter what. It is just part of who they are. Otherwise, and while upgrade that helps resist radiation storms sounds cool, the Pilot officer does that already by helping you bypass them entirely.

Well I know they will drink some either way but it would probably be less if they are not worried about radiation.

There's weapons lockers, data banks, water/fuel tanks, etc. Why not have a liquor cabinet upgrade that gives a boost to moral.

Yeah but everyone is soooo sick of Vudka! Not to mention sometimes after washing down the engines with the stuff, the engineers pour the dregs back into the Vudka bottle. There is no distinction between "Vudka used for engine cleaning" and "Vudka used for consumption". Often you have to drink with your teeth clenched together to act as a makeshift sieve.


After drinking Vudka, Mr Wiggles has to brush.

What about a Particle Beam Reactor Core upgrade... + x# of engines and increase to damage and say 50% chance of negating damage from radiation storms when encountered

P.S. dont tell slaynerz but Vudka is realy just engine slag dilluted with W-F and whatever Chems happen to be on hand drain cleaner being a usual choice... hence the usefulness in engine cleaning

I'm pretty sure the 'Sail Command Probe' does this.
