Now, this isn’t workable in SE4, but if you use the Solar Sail as a solar oven, focusing the energy, you could have the damage variable, depending on the distance from the nearest star and the star’s strength.

Theoretically, the solar sail doesn’t reflect, it is pushed by the light, so we can not focus light with it, but that shouldn’t stop us. Maybe it is like a reversible sweater!

A more modable weapon would be something that drops something on the map. Right now you can drop mines, but what if you could drop a lot of something an force your opponent to change their movement. Create a barrier that limits the number of enemy who can come at you at once or funnel them into a killing zone.
