No offense but I think this is a very bad Idea, it's completely unrealistic and only makes managing a colony harder then it already is. Not to mention gives the larger corps and alliance an even bigger advantage over the little guys trying make their way in Perpetuum.

I'd like to know why no one ever comes up with ideas to help even the odds between smaller corps and larger corps. Only Ideas to make it impossible for smaller corps to even function. (Not referring to this idea specifically here, just in General). I mean The larger corps already have numbers money and bots, why the hell do you need more ways to ROFL Face stomp the smaller corps?

And yes, this is a Member of a larger corp defending the smaller corps. They have the right to experience everything everyone else does.

As I said colony management is hard enough without having to also account for even more energy loss especially gradual loss, which would be far more damaging then say a sporadic loss from weapons fire.

* You'd have to constantly boost the reactors in order to keep anything running if your net work was over a certain size.

* What you are suggesting would seriously limit the size a colony can be and what specifically it can have on it. even a .001 loss across every structure would suddenly become a 200% loss if you had enough structures (and some colonies do)

This idea is just simply not feasible technically or realistically, unless your goal is to severely limit colony size. (Which is opposite of specifically what the goals for colonies are, the ability to build them as large as you desire)

nice idea... but similar to interference, probably having not much impact.

also, as long as the beacon can be shot at by friendly fire, they will put LoS restriction on it like they did with interference beacons... which was the most stupid bandaid fix they did up to date... and that turning those.

also, as long as defense towers not shooting at bombs or beacons or NPCs... to easy to use.

neut has LoS, and you would need to neut several backbone nodes to preven energy flow, and then dry out the defense buildings.

Buildings may be burroved/hidden behind walls. even with introducing the LOS of energy transmission it's possible to design covered energy system.

i think there would be good to introduce differend kinds of emitters.

btw: such "neutralizing emiters" should have some capacity. not infinite energy.
