Default \"Crew Killer\" question

I just got done re-reading Larry Niven's "Tales of Known Space", and the story "The Warriors" brought to mind an idea I hadn't yet encountered in SEIV - A "Crew Killer" type of weapon.

Does such a weapon already exist in the game, or if not - is it possible to devise just such a weapon?

Note: Just saw another example, of a sort. The "Thalaron weapon" used by the Reman warship in "ST - Nemesis".

Default Re: \"Crew Killer\" question

You can add security station destroying weapons (the damage type is listed in the Components file). Then, you can add a security station ability to all "crew" related components (such as crew quarters) with an ability value of 1. Now, that security station targetting weapon is essentially a crew killer.

There are a couple of mods with examples of such weapons, such as Adamant and possibly Pirates and Nomads.
