I mean, every single thing we can add to discovery can be abused in some sort of way. That's not a reason for not making them.
And I think you're exaggerating with the "lolwuters" thing. There aren't so many of them. Actually, most of the players I met in game were fine and weren't noobs who only tried to shoot me down.
OK the idea is: Weapons that could only be used on a new type of ship, that is suggested to be called an interceptor. This ship could equip only "ion cannons" or whatever we will call them (and maybe 1 gun that is not too strong or a turret idk) and would have a far superior speed compared to other ships in the game... it's only a bit sad it's not possible to go over 350 :(. Those guns are going to be used for "damaging" the enemies' energy (And I was suggesting something that could reduce thrusters or shut them down instead of only cruisers). And this ship as well the the weapons are going to be exclusives to police forces and would be meant for ... guess what.. intercepting pirate ships and taking them "prisoner".
If only police forces can use it, abuse won't be really possible. Don't you think so?
Yeah Sure, thats cool, but..theres a problem. What about the pirates ? Like i said, think of getting hit by that thing over and over and over...you cant thrust..which if the enemy is alot you'll get ripped apart in seconds(unless youre a LF, which you'll have a bit more time), and if thing eats your energy..you cant fire your guns ? Every single unlawful WILL, whine about it, thats my thought...
Well, that would make pirates a bit less interested to pirate in the middle of a faction owned system that would be logically defended by a lot of police and navy forces (even if it's not necessarily the truth).
And it won't really be a problem for pirates that are acting in groups. Because anyway only disabling one pirate ship isn't really effective when there are 3 others that is shooting at you.
I don't think it would be really that bad for pirates.
i think it would be cool....but i think it should be restricted to SHF and Bombers....and cap ships Battlecruiser and bigger
i also think they need to make a Dessie and higher torpedo turret with uber power drain, that fires 2 torps
ion cannons would be cool tho....even for pirates....
Pirate: Stop now trader, and you better not scream....lets be civil about this
Trader: *logs onto comm, radios for help* HELP ME..........*ion blast fries all electrical circuitry on his ship*
Pirate: I warned you....now dont be trying that again, or you'll lose more then your power systems....*facepalm* blast now how am i gonna get you to transfer mah payment.
