Surge protection block

[novel lotus]

as of 0.30.4, OC disruptors got a nerf where they can't EMP CP rooms as easily (-75% emp dmp to CP rooms) . I think it'll make sense to allow other weapons to have this trait too via surge protector blocks - they strongly reduce the effect of EMP weapons in a small area or adjacent to themselves, but take the emp as damage instead. The surge protector might be unable to protect sheilds or have very limited protection for shields. I think this block needs to work well enough as worse armor to be viable in pvp (as not all ships have emp threats, though the same can be said about missiles and PD (yet most pvp ships have pd)) An OC version of this surge protector might take less damage but produce significant heat when zapped

I mean PD can't defend against max velocity infinite fire emps that some ppl use in dom

I am familiar with emil, i don't play dom 😛

[bold monolith]

some ppl use it in elim also

i think

EMPs are definately used in elim. Not always tho; it's probably more common in dom cause ya'll play with capacitor-only ships (so emps can fully disable a ship)

if you spam emps any ships is cooked in dom
