Mafador could you add a new type of weapon?

I would like to see at least the capability for defenses against every type of weapon damage. Even if its not in the released game , I would like to see it put into the Abilities.txt file.
It would be nice to be able to create a mod with the options to use a defense for every type of weapon.

Have you ever tried P&N ?
There is currently a defense against every specialty weapon, except for Engine-destroying.
(Armor skipping, weapons-only, shield generators only, even null-space)
And the engine destroying weapons are hampered by the fact that every captial ship will have 30 to 40 engines rather than 4 to 6 (thus requiring lots of hits to disable).
My next release will also include explicit Engine defenses you can add on.
Of course, defending against every possible type of attack will be very expensive and space-consuming.
