Back on topic, I'm a little leery of ship systems doing things to other ships, especially negative things. Most ship systems we've seen have provided some kind of benefit to the ship using them. I mean, I'm not adverse to the occasional "fixed" hull-only weapon, but crazy stuff like shutting down an opponent's engines just rubs me the wrong way.

So far we have yet to see anything like that. There is probably no need to worry.

Then again I would like to see a EMP pulse doing massive damage to nearby ships (including friendly ships).

I cant actually find any rifter kills in my Archon, how unfortunate.

Its been so long, ive basically forgotten where to look though.

I was a part of.. what was it, LV? back before they finished the first titan. Stood at the gategamp against goonswarms first foray into 0.0. I think those events coincide. Maybe.

Never really was a big fan of pvp in battleships though. Felt more at home with interceptors or logistics.

I'll always remember that day when my corp had it's biggest battle ever. Not sure on how many battleships that played a role in it, but it was damn near or over 100 battleships on just our side counted. We won it, but our CEO was going near insane in our preparations for the battle. Who knows what could have happened  if i didn't advise him (i was pretty high up in the management) to prepare even more of our resources to the battle. First, i did try to advise him out of the battle completely, but when that didn't i advised him to prepare even more battleships. We won that battle, though, but we lost alot of battleships back then, over half our force was lost. :)

Damn, I thought you were the CEO! ;D
Anyway, ship systems will probably keep to themselves, only affecting the ship it's attached to, unless you use it it some offensive way (like ramming an overloaded paragon with your Onslaught in Burn Drive).
