A force field weapon leverages the attacking starship’s shields as a deadly bludgeon. A force field weapon deals additional damage equal to its starship’s Shield Points (SP) in the weapon’s quadrant, with a maximum bonus damage value equal to the number listed with this special property. A turretmounted force field weapon uses the current SP of the quadrant from which it’s fired. A force field weapon cannot be fired from any quadrant that has 0 SP. Immediately upon firing a force field weapon—and before resolving any enemy attacks during the gunnery phase—the attacking starship loses a number of SP in that weapon’s quadrant equal to the number listed with this special property. Weapons with the force field special property are not compatible with deflector shields.
