Cpt_Foxyloxy up to his usual shenanigans. He loads up the Cyclone AA into his ship since it has an EMP device on it and then successfully uses it on other ships. You have to be a bit closer than 400m, and the damage is minimal. With light fighters (Gladius) it will only do about 25% distortion damage.
Not exactly a viable solution, but definitely interesting to see it used this way.
He then finishes off the video by loading a Sabre Raven into the Ironclad and uses it in the same way. The only issue here is that it shuts down the command module, so you would have to use the other piloting terminal that has no weapon control.

Now That is the coolest part, and I hope it doesn’t get patched! Scenarios like that inadvertently add dynamics to sandbox gameplay, giving reason to crew mates or solo player choices. Crazy concepts!
