Re: EMP "Critical Failure"

i like the idea in general
cath get heavy incommings due to the "they can't kill anyway so why fear them"

the "kill" some of the frozen ship idea is good to reduce the amount of attacks
it has been suggested that the emp efficientcy could be increased to get the same effect but then caths would be overpowered when teaming up (some would say that this is already the case)

this "kill" some of the frozen ships idea won't have such an effect on teamups but i think it would be overpowered in attack fleets. Cath attack fleets are (and have to be) designed to freeze everything that could harm them. if they even kill those ships....

if it is an def only feature i would love to see it implemented
I'm not sure about the correct percentage as this is dependend on the shipstats (and vice versa)

if someone wants to have an explanation to this:
some of the frozen ships are hit that hard by emp that computers on the ship got a short circuit and all navigation data is lost. If this ship is in the orbit of a friendly planet, this planet could help the ship to navigate when the "damage" is repaired. A Hostile planet won't do that so the ship won't find it's way home and the ship is lost.
