Summary0011863: Minor Electric Rename
DescriptionRename Minor Electric to Warp/Distort, use spirl-ish animation.

Major electric can be just Electric as a result

-Major and Minor electric are totally unrelated. Major Electric is a type of AOE blast centered on the attacker, while Minor Electric is a normal attack that is ineffective against most fortifications, and is only found on teleporting ships. There is no reason for them to share the same name, unless they are related.

-Warp/Distort. Thinking about this as, like, throwing a bolt that twists space somewhat, tending to shred anything it hits via non-Euclidian forces. This makes sense for teleporting ships, who clearly have a non-Euclidian engine. Hence, it ought to be easy to create that kind of attack with onboard equipment.

Heavy fortifications, I imagine have artifical gravity, and inertial dampening. Both are related, and inertial dampening can easily react to and create a negative shadow on top of warp attacks to cancel them out.
