Overview

The EMP Emitter is an electromagnetic pulse array that temporarily weakens enemy shields — an enabler for mixed turret batteries, not a solo killer.

Special capabilities

Weakens shields

Temporary Shield Suppression — reduces attacker shield effectiveness for a window
Lets nearby Plasma Cannon, Railgun Tower, and Missile Battery deal full hull damage sooner
Low attack — protect with domes; treat as support structure

Strategic Use

Slot into late grids before heavy turret lines
Pairs with Heavy Laser (Bonus vs Armor) after shields drop
Expensive build time — build on priority worlds first
