The Radiating Hydro Ram Scoop clearly states that it will kill colonists if the mid point of you races radiation isn't at least 85mr.... Now, does that mean only if the engine is fitted to transports carrying colonists?
Scenario: Fairly early in the game, I have a sizable force or torpedo armed RHRS engined destroyers orbiting a distant colony that is under threat, the value of the colony was about 30% but didn't seem to be growing.... Is the radiation leaking from the drives killing people on the planet below? Or did someone ask Rimmer to repair a drive plate on one of those destroyers...? Very Happy

Oh, and while I am at it what is VML? some sort of Stars! mod?


The RHRS will kill colonists only if it is in a fleet carrying transports with colonists. So if you have a fleet and it has 3 transports with DDLL7 and a DD with a RHRS, it will kill the colonists as if the tranports had the RHRS. Now if you put that DD in another fleet, then it will not harm your colonists even if the start and end the turn at the same place (i.e. they travel together but are not combined into one fleet).

Also, VML is a mod in Beta test. See the VML Lounge for more info.
