Transit beam
Used for multiple purposes , you lock on to another ship ai or person
with different purposes
- you can use it to send cargo over or recieved, via the beam and the accompanying ship will have a device armed to innitially block it. at the cost of energy from both ships and if disarmed allow it to be moved aboard, shield p[enalty if hostile.

also weaponised, say you wanted to deploy a bomb on an enemy ship that has too much resistance, using said beam at energy cost, would allow deliverence to occure to ai or person, dependoing on difficulty levels of course... and say maybe lock it to engineering or dont... either way interesting idea ?
