When you create a starbase within a star cluster's ring,...

When you create a starbase within a star cluster's ring, are your ships protected only while they are in orbit of that planet? Do your ships traveling in and out of the ring lose clans as they travel or does the SB completely save them from losing clans?

A ship is not safe when travelling to a star cluster SB. They take radiation damage to and from the SB.

So much for hiding out in the star cluster :(

however they are safe at a starcluster SB. So as long as you are able to get there and survive with at least one crewmember, you can repair your ship at the cluster SB and have a fully functional ship. Back out again however you will get hurt again.

Well, every time you move towards the starbase inside a star cluster you will indeed loose crew... but, it's trivially easy to just "fix" the same ship everytime you move outbound, and this crew replenishment does not use clans from the planet at all.

As long as the crew loss while moving in/out is not equal or greater than half the crew, you should be fine with your radiation-protected starbase... remember that your enemies cannot "fix" at your starbase... until they take it, at least.

Star Bases at Star Cluster protect ships in orbit, if you can make it there your ships in orbit are safe from further radiation.

Such a Star Base is a bit more expensive than usual, but has also more mass and defence.

A Robot player or anyone with ships with Radiation shielding would lurve 'Talespins Hideout'... really shows the potential the Level Editor has!
