A new part idea for singleplayer, so that players will have to consider the possibility of their huge, expensive freighter getting forced into a fight, as well as preventing players from having to deal with the frustration of their target from warping away just as they prepare to pirate them (if NPCs will be able to use FTL):
- Small and large sizes (4x6 and 8x14?)
- Quite expensive to purchase, and semi-rare among NPCs
- Quite draining on power, requiring several reactors to support, plus a decent amount crew for enough power throughput. Even then, it would only last for a couple minutes at most
- Depending on the size and when activated, anybody in FTL within a certain radius around the planet or star will get pulled out of warp and end up near the interdicting ship. They will not be able to enter FTL again until the interdictor is destroyed, disabled, or gets turned off
- The small interdictor will only be good for holding a ship in place with a limited interdiction range, however the large one will be capable of pulling people out of FTL at great distances
- Multiple interdictors nearby will interfere with each other and cause a large explosion
- Long recharge time
