I think I found a bug related to EMP weapons:
I was testing this weapon:
You can shoot and fry any station with a couple of shots, but EMPed ships seems invulnerable, I continued to shoot an EMPed friendly freighter (and a nearby sapphire) for a couple of minutes without damaging them at all. As soon as I switched to a recoilless cannon, I quickly disposed of them.
In short: it seems that an EMPed ships is invulnerable to EMP weapons using this configuration.
I was testing this weapon:
