Is it possible to make a weapon that adds shields/armor when it hits something, instead of taking it away. Also can you make so that a weapon won't make the ship attack you. eg. weapon that repairs the shields of a friendly unit without getting him mad.

Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes... Who cares my rocket launcher will take care of all of them.

To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no. You could experiment with negative damage values, but I've heard that doesn't work. Besides, you can't hit escort/fighter ships anyway.

Although if it had a big enough blast radius, you could "undamage" your escorts like that.

I guess you make like a flak device (explodes at the end of flight), with a large blast radius, and negative damage. Heck, it might repair you if you set it to "damage" player.
