Irradiation: special ability that can reduce regeneration of organic units. Ionizing radiation will lower regeneration by 6-lg(MaxHealth) percent with each shot. Regeneration can become negative, draining the health of irradiated unit with time, and if it drops lower than -5%, such unit (even if it survives the shoot-out) will die unconditionally at the end of the combat.

While the effect of irradiation is clear enough, it is unclear how science vessel shoots it out. Is the number of shots the same as EMP shots, upgraded with Ion Technology? Can science vessle fire EMP and Irradiation at the same time?

EMP Shockwave: special ability that disables shield generators of mechanic units. Each shot reduces base shield of the target by 5000 and consecutive shots can lower it to zero, disabling energy shields completely. Missiles with EMP-bombs are launched each 2 rounds. Number of affected target is equal to [Ion Technology level]+1.

Thanks for that.
