Last one for today I swear...

Deck-mounted EMP weapon.

Generates a massive arc of EMP that starts like 5M wide and expands maybe up to 20M wide at the furthest range

Very slow firing. Like 10 second charge up. Huge energy cost.

Full 360 firing.

Affects everything it passes over by draining X energy (maybe 4-6?) and isn't mitigated by shields or armor.

Sounds great! What's the catch?

It drains everything it passes over, including your own/friendly systems.

EMP deck-mounted shotgun essentially.

Would never get used if it drains from your own ship

Only things it passes over. So you'd have to be very strategic about when/how you use it

Ok so how would you stop what it passes over? It's 360⁰

360 firing arc* sorry that was ambiguous

#

It fires in a growing arc from 5m wide to maybe 10-20

#

it definitely shouldn't be entirely unstoppable

#

that's just a bit too busted

#

armour should absorb a small amount out of it
