Did a mission for franklin yesterday (overlooked it)... It involved with a doctor called euh forgot it.. Who was cloning himself, now this is a tip not a spoiler! The first moment you enter the room, you need to destroy two weapon platforms, when you done that, you will notice that your life degrades fast and you die (while you need to solve a puzzle). I did it twice, and my level is maxed out (i think if i could level, i'm at level 5000 or so...). The tip to solve the puzzle at your ease is this:
go to that dilithium mine from the ferengi in the beta ursi sector, and buy a radiation aka space suit. When you are doing the mission for franklin, and the radiation is affecting you, just take the spacesuit and you are protected. You can solve the puzzle then at your comfort without dying all the time (except your crewmember lol).
