Sonic Disruption Cannon (high range, high damage, high damage falloff)
Resonance Cascade Mines
Harmonic Shockwave Missiles

This was discussed a bit in the thread "New Names for New Races." Sonic weapons aren't going to work outside an atmosphere, so they'd have to be a troop weapon.

This doesn't preclude other harmonic weapons, though. Your RCMs could be using nuclear magnetic resonance, for example.

True... although when I first thought of harmonics I thought of resonating space and other ideas like that.
I do agree that with a prefix like Sonic it'd have to been a troop weapon.
As for everthing else, I'll restructure and re-class when I get back from the pub

New tech areas are fertile ground for the wild imagination.

I had great good fun a few months ago developing a field of Polymer Technologies, or "More Fun with PLastics!"

'fun with pLastics' eh....sounds about right for that LEGO shipset I work on in my spare spare spare time

Possum : Sounds like a good idea... do you still have the technology set?
Maybe we could combine them and I could start working on a major Tech-mod for SE4

We have an 'AI Mod' and a 'Sound Mod', why not a 'Tech Mod', and 'Events Mod', 'Planets Mod' and so on...

I think if i was able to browse the web and post on the forum while at the pub, i might not ever get back.. of course that presumes I could also play se4 there.

2 movement per engine is overkill... they'll be zooming allong at a max speed of 19! (12 engine +3 for quantum + 3 for solar + 1 for prop. expert.)... I suggest just increasing the bonus speed by 1 maybe 2 if you increase the weight of the engines.
