Notes
A deceptively powerful weapon, it is quite possibly the strongest disabling tool in the entire game, as unlike a lot of other disabling weapons, there is little counterplay against this weapon. The "projectile" itself does negligible damage, but passes through objects(including debris) and constantly fires EMP arcs at nearby enemy targets while traveling. Ships hit by its arcs take 2x longer to repair weapons/engines for 10 seconds. Several of these can leave ships and entire fleets completely disabled for stupendously long amounts of time and makes them sitting ducks for your other weapons/ships. Shields are ineffective due to this weapon's ability to phase past enemy ship to attack unshielded backside (see animation below). The aforementioned trick naturally doesn't work against fully shielded opponents.
