Default Re: New weapon Type?

What about a weapon as follows:

A weapon that overloads when you select to use it and blows your ship plus the enemy ship up. You may think: "Well, isn't that basically a Kamikaze ship?" Well it is sorta, but a Kamikaze ship doesn't garantee that you will blow up the enemy ship. But this blows up both you and the enemy no matter what. It'd be sorta a weapon that you would only use when ABSOLUTLY needed, such as a enemy that's glassing at least 1 planet per turn. Just an idea, it's kinda a bad one but oh well. I put in my 2 cents worth. Or wait... maybe that was only 1 cent. Here's the other cent. How about a weapon that needs 5 ships to be used. IE you put the main weapon gen on a dread or other ship, then the other 4 ships have the actual weapon mount. Then once fired it can destroy a fleet of say 5-10 ships. But each of these ships to make this fleet of 5 ships would take at least 5 years to build even if you have emerg build on. That way such a massive weapon wouldn't be easy to build quick. Also it could be set really far into the Tech Tree that way it won't be easy to reseach either. I like this idea better then my first one. What y'all think? Good/Bad?
