Summary
Am I correct to assume that the fact that your own gravity shields are immune to the weapon is meant to be both a tactical advantage (ships in staggered formations can fire through eachother without worry), and a massive Achilles heel if the technology was ever captured?
If yes, then I'll probably allow this submission to pass.
Status: Pending
Notes
The gradated DR system ratings based on distance is a nice touch, and it's more or less just another Shock Cannon.
I intend to finish this review by: COMPLETE
