those ionic disperser are definitely not under-appreciated by me, after i researched completely, i put one on each ship.i disable it engine and leave it there for my escort size ships with allegiance subverter to capture them.
i'm currently also researching tach projection cannon, and i'm planning to use it.
i think the best thing about it is that they penetrate shields. i could research PPB, but they will eventually be obselete, but i can always use my ID and TPC. don't know if they skip armor also...would be great if they did, or else also put some crystalline weapon on the ship...
[edit] looks like they do skip armomr
