After the destruction of the first heart, Interceptors will begin to use their lightning when approaching within 800 m which will heavily damage your shields(~'''50x''' more to shields than hulls), render you immobile, and knock out your systems. Although your engines may still somewhat function, for a small period of time after the attack, you will struggle to build up speed as your ship will be under a braking effect, FA-OFF does not cancel out this effect. Glaives also possesses a lightning attack, which will recharge Glaive's shield when connect to a ship.
