A weapon with the 'electronics' setting can temporarily disable all the turrets on a warship.
This is a great feature for an anti-cruiser gun, but I don't want to give players an off switch for corvettes and destroyers. Can we make electronics scale with ship size somehow?
-
Perhaps a flag that ties electronics effectiveness to huge and supercap flags?
-
It'd be cool if it just shut down all turrets within a certain distance of the blast.
-
Would a flag in say the armor table do the job?

This should already be the case.

We could do something like introducing a "system integrity" and a "system recovery" attribute. An electronics weapon lowers the system integrity score and once that pool is depleted, the ship acts as if EMPed until integrity is restored.

That's definitely the most flexible option, but it requires retabling every ship in the game. A weapon-side attribute might be easier, like a 'huge multiplier' and 'supercap multiplier'.
-
Yeah, but what is that going to do? Decrease the time to recovery, disallow disruption entirely?
-
Some sort of armour class thing maybe?

It would work like the existing Multiplier entries on the electronics flag. You could just set it to 0 to prevent a weapon from effecting huge/supercap ships.
