Free ship from hazardous zone

[Ghrathryn]

Okay, so I presume a few people have run across the green glowing space rocks in The Void, and I think in Antigone Memorial, well one of my miners found a Drill Vanguard floating abandoned in the set of them in the resource patch in the north-western section of the Void, which I'd like to claim.

The issue is that those green rocks are hazardous, probably radioactive, meaning they constantly drain your shields followed quickly by your hull. So I can't leave a ship there to guard it while I haul one with marines aboard over there, presuming you can use them in that spot, you can't use your own space suit.

Which leaves me with a quandery.

Can I blow the radioactive asteroids the way I can normal ones, and can I push back their radiation enough to resuce the ship by doing so?

I had the same happen. Told my miner to stay at the ship, flew there and they both blew up--because they take radiation damage only when you're in the sector. Lesson learned.

I say leave it. It's only worth about 200k.

Ships dont take damage in the void if your not in the sector - current for v2.2 of the game
Send one of your ships into the sector without you being in the sector
Have that ship set to "Claim if possible" under the abandoned ship AI
Set move way points to that ship and get it close to the miner in the void
It will cap it and then you can safely move the ships out of the void

Discover the ship with another ship but keep it out of the radar of the ship you are in. I used a Drill Vanguard for this purpose. Make sure you have at least one marine assigned. When they discover this ship they will hail on the comms and will ask for instructions. Instruct them to claim the ship. Seems that radiation doesn't exist if your not there to feel it.
