Concussion Impulse Generators
Can you buy them or are they a pirate/xeonon drop item only? My Mamba can supposedly mount them but I can't find them anywhere.

I think, and this is just from my observations, that the don't stop weapons firing. What they do do is generate a concussion wave through the ship the causes it to rotate a random amount, thus making any turret lose it's targetting. This certainly works on fighters with turrets, but I'm not sure how it works on larger ships, or whether it moves them enough fo turrets to lose their targetting.

What rapier said is what I've seen from watching them being used (haven't tried them myself yet). As far as the effects on bigger ships, I was fighting in an XI and one of the friendly cap ships had CIGs in one of its turrets and kept hitting me in my Centaur and I noticed pretty much nothing happening. I didn't lose my heading at all and was delt negligible shield damage and no hull damage. They were single shots though, I have heard that using multiple CIGs at once increases their effect.
