Chaos Cannon: Boltweapon that has unknown damage on a cartain range. E.G. The weapon works via a equation taking in account the amount of ships and the distance from them. Sort of like the Myrionic Carbonizer form Ascendancy.

From SFB really, but maybe make some weapons that have a "myopic zone" where the damage is 0 at close ranges (i.e 0 0 0 50 40 30 20 10 0 ...) Makes a ship good for ranged attacks but vulnerable to a point blank attack.

This weapon could make the game unbalanced because race with none atmosphere gets great advantage.

What about a weapon that changes to your own breathable atmosphere, or to a random one. There should be a way to change atmospheres without needing to colonize first.

I tried to make a Genesis type device that would do that, but the atmosphere conVersion ability only works on facilities.
