Default Re: Ideas for new weapons

Some ideas (that would require engine modding...) --

* Sensor burn effects; for instance, a weapon designed specifically to overload EM-type sensors. Might be useful for a mine warhead or a nasty ambush satellite.

* Anti-ship cannons with the point-defense (IOW, automatic firing) ability.

* An improved solar sail that also functions as a low-power, no-supply-cost weapon.

* Small, fast one-shot (30 turn reload) missile racks for ships. Maybe even counting as armor, as well (external variant) -- have several for an opening salvo, say.
