I have to agree- I'd love to get my aggressor shield back-along with a few other nice little weapons for when I go from good trader to bad pirate.

No ship captures yet. Instead of disruptor missiles we are adding a new System Damage Mod that lets you shoot off ship systems. You will need to take out the engines of ships you want to capture, and then board them and take them.

It should be exciting.

The main reason for leaving out the super weapons, is that, well, they are super weapons. And while they are fun, they totally unbalance the game. Which is fine in a mission game like EoC, where you might need one missile to take down a fleet of cruisers. But it totally wrecks a "realistic" sim like Torn Stars.

I will think over a way to add them back as a side option. For those who really like using them. We are going to be releasing the ships with rebalanced hit points and weapons. If someone wants to balance these weapons to match the new ones, let me know.
