Description

High Power Microwaves (HPM) are a type of beam weapon. They only deal damage to shields and electronic components. They have a maximum range of

 Base Range * Range Modifier

Their rate of fire is

 Base Range / Capacitor Recharge Rate * 1s

While the theoretical maximum range far exceeds 1.5m km, no Beam Fire Control is able to handle ranges beyond this limit. Higher ranges offer no advantage for HPM. Mesons cannot be mounted in turrets.

Usage

HPM have a specialty function in destroying enemy sensors and fire controls, thus crippling ships, unable to fire their guns.
