Exactly what do you mean? Do you mean an atmospheric detonation of a
nuke?
Or a directed EM pulse? If I understood the matter correctly, the first
may seriously hamper communication for a good while, whereas the second
EITHER knocks your gear out, or it will be back online.

Whether stuff actually gets knocked out would depend greatly on the
amount
of EMP shielding? I know our radar equipment HAS to be EMP shielded. I
would imagine most bigger equipment in Stargrunt would be, and wouldn't
be
at all surprised if all smilspec gear was.

Then again, I'm no specialist on the subject, maybe someone can
enlighten
us?

Cheers,
