"If only something like the MOO 'engine pulsar' were possible in SE IV! "
Closest thing to this would be modding the engines and giving them the 'Point-Defense' ability, make it very short range, (like 1 or 2 spaces). Don't make it too strong as most ships have 6 engines meaning minimum of 6 pdc like cannons

.
Yep, it would be REAL nice if there were some 'area affect' weapons in se4. Stellar Converters, Pulsars, Reactor explosion shockwave, all this would add lots more fun
