Re: New Weapons
For all of those that like technology, ie advanced sensors and master computers. An anti-sensor or computer weapon is a good counter technology. Basically a weapon that skips shields and armor and manipulates ship movement and firing mechanisms by a computer virus.
The higher up the technology tree for these anti-computer weapons, the more random the movement and weapons fire. Good weapon to break up formations. Alternate sub techs, could be complete sensor black outs, so no bonus are granted and no scanners could be utilized.
Like the warp cannon that causes a ship to randomly move, it could also randomly cause the ship to fire at anything, even allies. I don't know if the second part could be modded, but it would lead to new counter strategies, which would involve that highly advanced fleet to be retrofitted with the good ol basic bridge. The basic bridge would be immune to such devices (in game terms) because of the high degree of manual automation, versus higher computer automation with advanced targeting sensors, master computer, ect.
