Weapon ideas:
- "Mine Launcher" - slow moving projectiles with long life, but detonate large, perhaps on proximity?

- "Fractal Gun" - point defense - that uses three stages of projectile, each splitting in two or three (branching out)

- "Chain Lightning Gun" - using three stages - each stage / impact produces two weaker lightning beams that use the "homing" flag to find other targets

- "Flak Cannon" - produces large, slow, short range projectile clouds that block beams and missiles before being destroyed

- "Scanning Beam" - In Star Trek, the Federation scanned for cloaked vessels using some sort of energy grid. Perhaps some sort of wide angle beam, super fast, that does almost no damage - but blankets the area in front and reveals cloaked ships by the impact effects. Probably would also knock out any missiles.
