* Anything with an Ion Disruptor in ''[[X (Videovideo Gamegame)|X3: Reunion]]''. This weapon is extremely effective against shields, automatically locks on to anything in a wide fire arc, and has no travel time. While it can't damage your ship's hull, it is extremely effective against shields and can destroy equipment once your shields are down, as well as making you easy prey for lasers, missiles or collisions. Since all ships are susceptible to friendly fire, even friendlies using the Ion Disruptor turn into Goddamned Bats. As if it wasn't already annoying enough, using the weapon yourself when there are non-player-owned friendlies around turns '''you''' into a bat, and they'll instantly attack you.
** Kha'ak fighters in ''X3: Terran Conflict'' qualify for capital ship captains. Individually they're no threat at all since a few good flak hits will splatter them, and their weapons are really weak. Clouds of them can wear you down. Oh, and they spawn continuously as long as you're in a Kha'ak sector.
** M5 scoutships in general, but particularly the Teladi Harrier, Yaki Fujin, and Xenon N (the only common M5's with credible weaponry). They come in swarms (often alongside ships that actually pose a threat), and are too fast to hit with most weapons. Get enough in clear space and you basically need a capital ship's flak guns to clear them all out.
