If memory serves, it was meant to cost significantly less than an OB, and have a wider area of effect.
This would be a very useful tactical option. Have some pesky rooftop campers/snipers? Destroy their uplinks and hives, and you've popped their greedy little mouths off the proverbial teat. (and it would make trading hands in Dom much more likely, no more bum-rushing an entirely entrenched team of reds without a better option)
Perhaps it could simply be done by applying a flux 'nade effect to the current OB? Maybe cost 1500wp?
Definitely want input, but I think we can all agree that we need more tactical command options on the field.
this exists, but only in FW, and its useless because it kills nothing but shields and equip, which isnt very viable in a combat situation like FW where eve pilots earn the ob
Bring back the Marauders, Enforcers, Logistic, and Scout LAVS and Dropships

because it is worthless, why EMP an area, when you can drop lazers in instead and murder everything in the area
i got EMPed in FW once, it was hillarious any smart EVE pilot will use tactical laser S ammo because its the best ob ammo, as hybrid ammo is very dispersed, and EMP ammo gets zero kills
