EMP weapons

What is the time for each ship category that it stays disabled when hit by EMP?

Proposition: When trying to capture ship disabled by EMP the capture time is reduced by 50-60%?

Proposition sounds reasonable to me.

Also increase the time ship stays disabled - if some actually went through the effort of trying to disable
the ship instead of just blowing it up he should have more time to capture.

This guy...
I probably never would've thought of this.

30+ years of reading SF helps a lot

And it would be a practical use of EMP

We were discussing the effects of EMP in the CEBD, we'll expand on it after basic midgame balance is achieved!

Another thing - when enemy ship has been disabled by EMP player's ship won't
auto-attack it unless given direct attack order.
It's quite annoying when you've disabled enemy capital/super capital and marine
frigates are on their way when your units keep shooting at it and blew it up.

This is called micromanagement. Optimize your ships' behavior manually. It's intended.

I've set tactics to passive (F2) and gave all ships order to stop (S).
They've still blew the bugger up.

Well that's kind of impossible. Order a move command if nothing else works.
