Here's an idea. What if there was a system the would shoot a beam of electricity? It could be able to electrify certain blocks, (i.e. meshes, composites and anything else that would make sense) making them do damage on contact with a player. If it was used against a ship, it would do damage to shields, but if they were down, it could "short circuit" systems. Basically, it could temporarily slow down or even stop power recharge, depending on how much "damage" it put out.
Slaving a computer to it would do what you would expect it to, but, if possible, pulse computer would make it a high-power orb or blast instead of a beam.
There could also be a handheld version to electrify single blocks easily.
