A unique buff for the screamer?

[nOmnomnOm]

I was comparing the nuclear vs screamer mine in my head and wondering why would someone choose screamer over nuclear mine.
As of now, the only reason id think you would choose it is that it wont damage yourself if you mess up. The radius is lower than it once was and in my opinion that increased radius balanced not having hull damage.


Well how about we give a special use for the screamer mine? How about we explore its EMP qualities.
What about this....

If it hits a ship with no shields, their power core will fail for 5 seconds ( the same as exiting cruise ).
This could be a nice tactical mine. It can instead of hull damage , paralyse the target and be able to punish him by shooting while he cannot shoot back effectively.

What do you think?

Possible to code?
