So...the solar gate way..

[N a v y 3 0 0 1]

do NOT use them vs tholiens..


they heal them

Radiation damage (as in the solar gateway) heals Tholians.

Cold damage (as in the CRM 200 or Endothermic Induction Field) does more damage to Tholians.

ah, thanks now i know to not use it vs tholians xD

No, that's always been the way it works. The Tholians are an older enemy, so when the game was initally developed they could have added additional mechanics to them. Either way, no source of radiation damage deals damage to tholians.

Being said, I didn't notice this until I used my Tholian Radiation Projector against them rather recently, so it could very well be a bug.

^from over a year ago. Probably a bug though, although an interesting mechanic if true. Other than science, ground Tholians didn't see much radiation damage until relatively recently anyway.

They do take extra damage from Cold sources though.

Edit2: Even if radiation damage doesn't heal Tholians, it's still useless against them.

[ImperatorPavel]

Still more of a source than you provided. I think it might be a bug, but at the moment Radiation is useless against Tholians.

My Tholian radiation gun (the one from Crystalline Catastrophe awhile back) also does nil damage th Tholians.
