[MOD] Wavemakers -- A new form of weaponry
This mod adds new wave-based weaponry in the form of 7 new weapons of 3 different wave types -- electromagnetic, gravitational, and thermal. The wave projectiles travel almost instantaneously and inflict different effects on their targets.
Electromagnetic Waves: Deal ion damage, with a small stun chance.
Gravitational Waves: Deal system and crew damage, with a medium breach chance. Ignore shields.
Thermal Radiation: Starts fires. Lots of fires.

Uses the standard .ftl structure and should be compatible with any other mods.
Tested and runs correctly on Slipstream
The Weapons
Ion Surge Mark I
Strong anti-shield weapon, dealing up to 3 ion damage. Can technically self-stack ion damage if your shots don't miss. The spread makes it less effective against other systems.

Spread Width: 3.44 tiles
Ion Damage: 1
Stun Chance: 20%
Cooldown: 13s
Used by auto-ships, Rock, Federation, Engi, Zoltan, Lanius.
Ion Surge Mark II
Extremely strong shieldbuster, dealing up to 6 ion damage, and potentially self-stacking if you don't miss much. The spread makes it less effective against other systems.

Projectiles: 6
Spread Width: 4.81 tiles
Ion Damage: 1
Stun Chance: 30%
Cooldown: 22s

Ion Oscillator
Similar to the Ion Surge Mark I, but trading firing rate for accuracy and sequential shots, making it better at disabling other vital systems, even through a shield layer.
Power: 2
Projectiles: 3
Spread Width: 1.38 tiles
Ion Damage: 1
Stun Chance: 20%
Cooldown: 16s

Higgs Hammer
This diabolical device fires a huge gravity wave that passes right through a ship's shield and hull, wreaking havoc across a wide swath of the interior. The enemy crew will be so busy fixing breaches and repairing systems they'll hardly be able to fight back.
