Coil Destabilizer
As FTL technology becomes better understood, some groups have begun theorising on practical applications of the knowledge. One more eccentric bank of researchers has created a weapon capable of destabilizing the FTL engines of the target, causing structural damage and power problems. Visibly resembling a standard missile, the warhead is replaced by a bulky device which emits an FTL field contrasting with that of the target. On impact the device activates, creating a field almost as large as a standard medium hull, or the engineering section of a large. The device must remain active throughout the entire flight time, however, presenting the weakness that an energy shield might deflect the field, and therefore the entire projectile.

Notes:
- Hulls listed are the minimum hull size to mount/target. All weapons are mountable/targetable on/against any hull size larger than the base size. Targeting a larger hull size results in a damage penalty.
- Effective damage refers to the actual damage times the weapon's rate of fire. This is the total damage that you will do on average a turn, assuming every shot hits.
- Attack rating affects the chance you will hit the enemy ship.
- All data is given at the 3rd technology sublevel (x-3).
