Any word on the effectiveness of the EMP? Is it worthwhile or merely a "minor annoyance"? Also, is there any chance of inflicting "permanent" damage, as in "fried subsystems"? I know it does no damage per se, so I doubt it's usefulness somehow.
Its a minor annoyance which can become a major one on certain hits. Its requirements are pretty low (1slot and 3t if I remember correctly) and it has the bonus of getting no hit penalties on file into cover, same goes for the NB.
