Just throwing this out here
Bomb Catapults:
That LITERALLY what the title implies, the catapults would have two types
-Magnetic powered:
More precise but has slower firing, H.E. railgun in other words only bulkier bullet
-Kinetic powered:
bombs would act like grenades strapped to a spinner, the spinner would rev up at very high speed, and when reaching maximum speed the bombs would be released in a chaotic wall of explosives
Requires to charge up in order to fire farther
MIRV cannon:
Fires a spear covered in bombs, during travle the spear looses its bombs on the way creating a barrage of slow moving mines
Try to think up new ideas of weapon mechanics not yet in the game....
EDIT:
"Fisherman" shield disruptor:
Although not damaging armor or hull, this device fires four pods linked together with a net, upon hitting a shield the net sticks to the shield and will start short circuiting the ship's shield controls, effectively resulting in the target ship being unable to turn off their shields, the flux dissipation of the target will also suffer from the shielding systems going haywire
"Killer Whale" Shield buster cannon
An oversized kinetic gun firing giant spear-shaped projectiles, the projectiles are heavily reinforced and are basically kinetic amplifiers coated in armor, in effect, what this means is that the projectile will punch through shields provoking absolutely ruinous amounts of damage, the spear is however targettable by PD weapons due to its sheer size...
"Moby ***" flanker cannon
A cannon based on the same propultion method as the "Killer Whale", this cannon's projectile is however much different in that it is a tactical warhead with an extremely powerful set of magnetic devices covering it, as a result the projectile will be able to home in on nearby ennemy ships, allowing it to orbit around ships allowing them to move around the ennemy shields and hit them from the sides or behind....
