EMP - Electro Magnetic Pulse =
Knocks out anything having to do with electronics for a certain amount of time.
With this in mind i came to the conclusion that the Sethdar's EMP isn't a true EMP. it only knocks out the propulsion system of the targeted ship.
Im wondering if this can be modified (either in name or attributes) to make it a real EMP or some Engine Disruptor.
If it is to be changed it should also knock out the energy regen weapons and secondary weapon that way it would be a true EMP.
Idea Emp Improvments Or Name Change

I think ships in the future should have defences against EMP so maybe thrusters are the only vulnerability. Jet fighters NOW have defences against EMP so why would we have anything less in the future?

If you wanna make it realistic, make it into a sonic wave, rather than a thing you shoot at someone. So when you push the secondary button, a halo-shape should expand from the ship (with a max radius of course.) This would make aiming a lot easier (of course), and would be more like a real emp bomb.
I say keep its effect, its pretty good and balanced, but rename it:
EMDP. Electro-Magnetic Disruptor Projectile.
EMECB. Electro-Magnetic Energy Concentration Bomb
Or rename it to Dampener Sphere, and keep the effect, maybe tweak the graphics a bit to make it look like a sort of a bubble, and come up with a new explenation for the effect:
The dampener sphere attaches itself to the engines of the target, like a bubble, and absorbs the force coming from them, preventing them from having any effect.
