Point-Defense on fighters?

Actually at one point there was a weapon at levels 7/8/9, though I don't remember if it was just SE 3, of if it was in the early version of se 4. The weapon employed alternating tractor and repulsor beams to rip the ship apart.

That's the wave motion gun, and it is available at levels 8-10 of High energy discharge, since SE3.

I think that weapon was just in some mod for SE3. It wasn't the WMG, but a "Tractor-Repulsor Beam." WMG is just a "high intensity fusion beam."

The "TR Beam" is from the Star Fleet Battles Game. As for it being in any form or incarnation of SE, I don't know...maybe it was in a mod or something...

I'm sure the concept has multiple origins.
