Aggressor Shield

Aggressor shields allow a ship to ram an opposing vessel causing substantial damage, while protecting the ramming ship from major damage.

A modification to an existing LDA shield, it uses a series of frequency modulators to set up a waveform in the LDA field, creating areas of destructive resonance.

When an object hits the LDA, instead of being displaced back it is displaced in all directions as the shield vibrates, tearing the object apart on a molecular level. This can be used to do severe damage to a ship at very short range (collision range).

This model of the aggressor shield uses the standard field dynamics, but due to the retrofitting of the aggression field modulators onto a normal shield it causes destructive vortexes within the ship as it pulses and distorts. This means that the ship using it may well suffer damage when it rams.
