Well, there's the Illuminati Mind Control Laser System....  Short range,
ignores armor entirely, but each level of shielding reduces the
effective
range by, say, 6" or so....

I've never bothered to write it up, you understand.  A weapon that
converts
crew units into hostile boarding parties would be a lot of fun, but I
don't
want to be the one who tries to balance the point cost.
