      Is it possible to have a weapon that will not do damage? The bible says that no matter what you put in, the weapon will always do a point of damage. Have you guys found a way to make a weapon do no damage?

      Yes, the Tractor Beam (EV/O) and the Repulsor Beam (EVO). They both do zero damage.

      I once actually tried to create a "Fix Beam" which did negative damage to ships, so you could repair them. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Too bad.

      I tried that too. Worse, it made my allies mad at me - they thought they were being attacked.

      Same here. Hey, maybe this would be a good thing to add to EV Nova.
