Mod Idea (EMP torpedoes)
An EMP Torpedo, (I named it "Vortex Disruptor"), that temporarily disables the propulsion systems and weaponry of enemy ships (as seen in the expanse season 4), rendering them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. The torpedo disrupts energy and communications, creating a temporary "blackout" effect that makes enemy ships unable to move or fight back. However, the EMP effects would be short-lived and would have a high cost in terms of production and ammunition.

1) Duration: 10-15 seconds (adjustable for balance).

2) Targeted Systems: Disables both the drives (no movement) and weapons (can't fire) of enemy
ships. Disable Drone launch procedures but not docked fighters.

3)Ineffective on large structures like stations

4) Restrict the Torpedoes to some ships

5) Cost: about 250,000 - 500,000 credits per torpedo or require rare resources to manufacture

6) Ammo is limited: 2-3 torpedoes

7) Countermeasure: Drone interceptors
In the Future: add a new countermeasure like EMP shields and revamp AI reactions to adapt.

What you describe is a buffed, heavy version of the light Disruptor missile?

Absolutely, you can call it an enhanced version of the light Disruptor missile.Idea similar to the EMP torpedoes from the show " The expanse".
