A nuke goes off.

well, I'm more interested in pirates detonating a nuke near a ship (how near I'm not sure yet), the idea is to damage it enough so that:
internal grav goes down/off
comms are knocked out
GT has some rules concerning hardening, but I'm wondering how they apply to gravity plating, more than anything.
it's likely that a ship would have uniform hardening, depending on the GM and if the players own it -- their paranoia level.
a while back I'd posted a question about gravity affecting missile weapons, well now go the other way and if you can knock out a defensive system, well, you get the picture...
anyway, I'll probably just use the ship's TL and figure on uniform hardening based off of that, in lieu of actual specifics.

Hi !
Somehow one could see EMP is incorporated in the HG/MT space combat system by specification of "radiation damage".
A typical starship with its usually enclosing hull is a type of faraday cage, so most things inside are unlikely to be harmed by an outside EMP.
Anyway electronic "outside hull" attachments like sensors, antennas etc. can be harmed (as represented in the space combat rule).

TE

I would expect Zhodani warbots to be EMP shielded
