[Colonel]

Have a tech that would allow certian sized ships to split apart in or out of combat, You could spilt manually or do it automatically where the computer would take 1/2 or 1/3 of ship depending on how many sections it splits into.

Weapons Idea.
I think thier should be certian weapons (mainly missle types, These types of weapons would make the shields drop for X number of turns and then reraise, this would eventually be over run by tech.
