Here is an idea of a new weapon :
Name : Magnetic Explosive Electric frag canon/mine
Damage type : Kinetic
Damage : 1/5 of frag canon
Goal : The goal is to disable a module and speciafically a selected weapon.
How it's works : Small magnet fragment are spread around a targeted module or weapon on ships. It's create a heavy magneting field around modules / weapons allowing to disable them for a period of time. It affects more effectively weapons as they are an easier target than modules. When fragment are close to loose their power they explode making damage to aimed module / weapon.
Special effects : Corrosive version could melt the hull in order to attain modules for example.
It would be a new kind of weapons fun to use. The goal is not to make damage but rather to disable a ship capability. It could be used for example to make missile more usefull. For now they are useless because of damage reduction and of the effectiveness of point defense. Point defense could be disabled thanks to this weapon, then you could use missile !
It could also be used as a defense. An enemy ship could be partly disabled, allowing you to flee from interdiction.
It would also be an incredible offensive weapon too.
