Melpomene Stun Emitter

<< < (2/2)

Crafeksterty:
I suggested a Tar Gun where it emits puffs of lingering smoke on the ship that makes visibility within the target ship have annoyances.
Which is also a really good counter to flair. Tar gun a ship and hel flair but still not exactly see where you are.

I do believe this was one of the main critiques on the Minotaur a few weeks ago: "i can't fly the ship straight, let me fly the ship" then it was nerf'd to harpoon status and nobody uses it anymore on such a scale.

The idea comes from a side effect of flares. They can be used offensively by grinding the opposing computers to a halt and if not present on serious games they are widespread in trolling/for-the-lolz games. I am not talking about totally disabling the crew, just slowing down and disorienting so that it is necessary to briefly reform and regroup away from the short range of the ship armed with it.
