Capital Nuke

Sep 05, 2021 haxmeister link
Capital turret non-seeking missile that detonates at a given distance (maybe 2k?) and generates significant explosion/concussion.

Trade off is firing the missile requires and consumes 99% of battery. Possibly multiple in a tube but not simultaneous due to battery drain.

Yes people will use it to farm in unknown sector probably.

Yes people will try to use it in PvP (though distance detonation does severely limit it).

Prefer not to make it a manufactured item due to the continued tweaking of the farming mechanics... but something really powerful should still be harder to get.. perhaps POS with some obscure faction would be in order.

with regard to using it against the shields of large NPC capships...

YES YES YES... this is exactly the potential I'm suggesting... though commenters should note, to use it on a moving vessel would be quite difficult and to use it for deshielding your connie or such would still require a team.

Sounds fun and game breaking
