Magnetic Field Manipulator

Armory » Ship Gear » Unconventional Weapons » Magnetic Field Manipulator

Uses blink tech to let you remotely manipulate and create surprisingly strong magnetic fields. Rip metallic items apart, or attract them all to a single point, to help make up for how no one will ever be attracted to you. Useful for throwing ships around, ripping weapons out of peoples' hands and bludgeoning them to death with it, creating crude one-shot railguns, and finding buried treasure. Magnets, man. How do they work?

Creds: 8000

Ammo: Uses ship power
Takes one turn to fully cool down, but can be used more than once once
Multiple uses in rapid succession cause overheating, leading to longer cooldown times
Using too rapidly can prove fatal

Requirements: Unconventional Weaponry +1

Rolls: Attacker's Computer vs Defender's Durability

Additional Details

Expensive, but effective
Larger objects are more difficult to move
Powered via miniature telefusion cell
Incorrect use voids warranty and can cause catastrophic failure
Effective range of about two kilometers, accuracy falls off sharply after one kilometer
Can't do much with anything the size of the Tartarus, so stop trying
Use the force, Luke
