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
