I also had a similar idea to that of Flatulence iwht the repellant thing, but I know how to make it, too.. Make a weap that's life span is as short as possible (the speed of the weap doesn't really matter because of that) with a huge blast radius with large blast and turn on the flak type weapon option. Then do whatever other options you want and you got a weap that pushes ships away and inflicts whatever amount of damage you want..
Another idea is a "smart" missile that follows you until you tell it to attack a target (wich means you can send them off all at the same time so that the ship can't recharge between attacks) and if the ship is destroyed before one of the missiles reaches it then you can recover the missile without having it go to waste. What you do is actually disguise the missile as a ship with the launcher being a bay. Then give the ship one weapon wich is the kind that blows up the ship when it fires (i think ammotype -999 or something) with however much damage you want it to be. Then cleverly disguise it with the pics and descriptions and voila! "smart" missile..
Hmm, that's all I can think of for now.. maybe more laterer...
