i like the idea, but what did you have in mind for a specific range
for the light and heavy versions.  since folks use different size 
game tables, 40% and 60% means something different to everyone.
how about a 30" (light) and 60" (heavy) diameter?

how long does the system take to charge up?  how long can the
interdictor ship maintain the field?

oooohh, i see lots of cool scenarios with this idea!  high-tech
ship raiding, pursuit, delaying actions, "save the crippled ships",
etc....  i only hope the interdictor is well protected, 'cause 
it's gonna be a prime target!
