Epic Mini-Update 0.5
Got a few new concepts on the drawing board, and I've been doing research on radiation detection methods, dosimeters, Geiger-Muller Tubes and counters, ionization chambers, and a few other things to figure how our radiation scanners and such will work.
For the station, the airlocks will come equipped with a
Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM), used at national borders(U.S. for example) to inspect cargo for radiation. For the crew, I'm thinking of using Russian-made handheld
Radex RD1008 Beta and Gamma radiation sensors, great stuff. Its too big to carry around, so it'll have to be carried in a rectangular black leather bag like a laptop carrier. Also possible is the Belarus-made
DKG-RM1610, who's range is fucking ridiculous, is much smaller, has a built-in energy accumulator rather than disposable battery cell, BUT I have no data on its detection methods or abilities. Source
A few more ideas I'm working on:
Orbital Recon Battery:The O.R.B. is a long-range scanner Probe, spherical in design. It comes equipped with an advanced computational array as well as Thermal, X-Ray, Electro-Magnetic, and advanced radiation scanners.
Magnetized Vacuum Containment Suit - The MVC Protective suit used for HazMat situations and xenobiological encounters.
Magnetized Vacuum Containment Unit: The MVC Unit is used to store exotic materials suspended in a vacuum.
Anti-Electron Matter Disruption Technology: A.M.D. is an Alien weapons technology that disintegrates matter with a blast of high-energy state exotic particles. AMD Technology functions by annihilating electrons, thereby decomposing any and all molecular bindings within an organism or material. - {

Swarm Bio-Toxin: A so-called corrosive cybergenic neuro-toxin synthesized from radioactive compounds and heavy metals. Originally secreted by certain Swarm organisms in order to incapacitate creatures and melt down metal, it was reverse-engineered by the Ach'remoc to be used as a highly-destructive weapon and torture device. {

Beings:
The Undying: A group of aliens who's planet Ciberys was destroyed by the combined destructive force of the World-Eater Swarm and the Ach'remoc; who later came to wipe out the Swarm and secure the advanced weaponry of the Undying. The Cybraxian people were the only to survive the onslaught by burrowing deep into the surface of Ciberys. With billions dead and their cities in ruins, the Cybraxian people took to the stars with their entire fleet; never to see their world again. The Undying serve as bounty hunters and mercenaries while their armada travels the universe, trading their technology and services for food, water, and materials.
World-Eater Swarm: A swarm of psychically-linked insectoid organisms that feed on all metal and carbon-based substances. They travel to planets, moons and asteroids consuming everything until there is naught left but dead stone; they will consume even living flesh, though plastic and rubber seems to repel them for unknown reasons. Following the Cybraxian-Ach'remoc War, the previously-unknown Swarm became vastly more volatile... Legends say they fused with the Undying technology they consumed, though the Cybraxian Collective guards that aspect of their history with lethal fervor. Though the Swarm came to Ciberys within a meteor, it is unknown how they escaped the planet's atmosphere. Dozens of new Swarm organisms have appeared as they've assimilated entire worlds, and there are rumors that there may even be humanoid Swarm agents in existence.

Currently I'm working simultaneously on the next turn and my Chaotic Symmetry design...
Heheheheh... I added in a Dwarf Fortress tribute to the design.
Its fairly easy to find if you know what you're looking for.
I'll give you a hint; its DF's most famous image.
I feel that I may have finally completed the design.
Press F11 to zoom in your browser, or you can't see the whole thing. its too big for a regular screen. Also, if its scrunched just click and zoom in. I linked to it rather than img it so that its better on the eyes. I take no responsibility for any epileptic seizures or sudden realization of mortal ascendancy or any such things.
