It would be interesting if instead of generalist anti-system devices we had weapons that specifically target a system type. Or maybe weapons that have specific system type damage as a side effect (but some other drawback, such as bad tracking or low damage.) The closest to this currently is the ELF beam.
Basically, more weapons with 'special effects'.
Items like...
A beam/wave designed to overload and burn-out sensors and electronics. (through protection?)
A missile that projects a field that prevents torpedoes from forming correctly, knocking torpedoes offline for about 5-6 seconds.
A similar weapon that scrambles targeting electronics on missile launchers, knocking them offline for about 5-6 seconds.
A 'shockwave' weapon' that destroys the control systems of drone units, knocking drones offline for about 15 seconds.
A virus weapon that causes someone's interface to fritz out for a few seconds. (Possible? Dunno.) Otherwise, a weapon that interferes with target locking systems, basically making all sensor diamonds (for an affected ship) disappear for about a second, with loss of taget lock.
A weapon that destroys ammunition?
Other neat stuff.
Those are just top-of-the-head examples. None of those things would have to be considered.
Basically, just want more 'special' weapons.

On that note it would be cool if when weapons were destroyed, their ammo exploded.

The ammo wouldn't necessarily damage the ship. But...hmmm....
