Default Re: A pirates life for me...

Description := Planetary gravity is focused into a massive, turbulent pulse, centered at the location of an enemy vehicle. The focal point is restricted to long range to avoid irreparable damage to the planetary surface.
...
Vehicle Type := Ship


If the weapon is ship bound, then it no longer needs the range restriction... in fact one would be tempted to use it on enemy planets. Also, the weapon needs the presence of a large gravity well (ie. planet) to cause damage.. for the sake of continuity, what if the ship using the weapon is in a system with no planets? That is why the original Vehicle Type was set to "Platform" (and to balance the fact that it's really powerful).

I like the shield thing for the Psychic cross over. And the floating temple would be very cool (I'm looking forward to the picture.. would it have Aztec priests throwing the unfortunate sacrificees to their destruction? We can only hope )
