Summary0011144: Spire Lightning Rod
DescriptionSpire Lightning Rod:

Originally this was intended to be a full-on Spirecraft but it could work as a bonus/experimental starship as well. It has pretty good health and armor, but a weak attack. The special thing about this ship, though, is that it attracts all minor electric and laser ammo to itself. After enough shots are absorbed (taking some damage, however), it releases a swarm of small, timed ships. My concern with this one is that laser and minor electric ammo types are somewhat scarce with the AI unless it rolls certain bonus types, so the ammo types that are attracted could be expanded to include others that still somewhat make sense.

Technically, it doesn't even necessarily have to be limited to "laser/energy-esque" ammos. Those were just for thematic stuff, the idea could be adapted to use different ammunition types as charge.
