EMP Burst

Hey, I searched on this one, but no luck.

Is there some kind of ultra-EMP burst mod?

Whether it's a spread-fire blaster with a REALLY low refire rate, or a time delay torpedo/missle/mine.

I dunno, something like the Matrix hovercraft EMP's would look pretty cool.

The cruise desruper is about as close as you could come. It is possible to add the effect to a mine and add a tracking effect, as I think this has been done.
add this to a mine.
HP_trail_parent = HPExhaust
seeker = LOCK
time_to_lock = 0
seeker_range = 2500
seeker_fov_deg = 90
max_angular_velocity = 8.710000
cruise_disruptor = true

Think he is referring to the energy_damage line in files - which will erase the "shield" of ships, but if large enough, also takes down energy.

Example: - still on the above cruise disruptor, but can do it for any explosion weapon:


[Explosion
nickname = cruise_disruptor01_mark01_explosion
effect = li_cruisedis01_impact
lifetime = 0.000000, 0.000000
process = disappear
strength = 100
radius = 50
hull_damage = 37.400002
energy_damage = 0

impulse = 0

Those lines there - edit:
radius = 1000
hull_damage = 0
energy_damage = 1000000


Those stats will literally blow out all shields, and possibly power plants within a 1km radius (radius in meters). lifetime can be fiddled with in the lifetime line above this, but i don't see the point in making explosions of weapons last for ever, only ships

What's the codes for creating a weapon that will:
De-activate Engine for a period of time
Destoy Guns
Destroy Turrets
Disable Cruise until you dock
Destroy Shield Generators
and
Will Explode as soon as it is fired

It's eyes were completly devoid of life,
Empty Orbs that took in the world with an unfeeling gaze,
A thin trail of blood ran from a fresh wound,
But it would not or could not tend to it,
Only one thing ever brought a spark of vitality,
To the eyes of this Tortured Soul:
The Suffering of others.

non existent.
they are destroyed if they are hit by an explosion and their hit points reach zero.
ditto

just set the lifetime
