It would be cool to have a special slot in ship design menu for special powers/weapons. You could use them on your main "exploration" screen. For example you can have such weapons as black hole generators, space mines, plasma jets, invincibility, invisibility, super-nova cannons, long range missiles, tractor beams, teleportation etc. Such abilities would create some effect on the main screen that will aid you in ship-to-ship combat. The combat will become more tactical and fun to play.
