Hmm, this idea reminds me of the "streamer" weapons from MOO1... since ships were stacked in MOO1 like fighters are stacked in SE4, you could have weapons that "pierced" one ship in a stack and damaged the next... thus you could take out dozens of tiny ships with a sufficient graviton beam volley, whereas a volley of some other weapon would just destroy the top ship on the stack... Interestingly enough, I think the idea was brought back for MOO3, since ships in MOO3 are grouped into task forces, but it's really hard to tell because the game documentation is so abtruse
