Revisiting an idea I made before, the Ability Inhibitor.

Ability Inhibitor
[Special Module: Size: 10, Defense: 100, NPC Debuff Ability Trigger Chance: -6%]
Inhibits harmful effects activated from NPC Enemies.
Limit: 3 per ship

Possible Ways to get the module (you choose)
1. Dark Badges (cost is more than Composite Ray)
2. CT-Lab Discovery (formula contains debuff artifacts/containment artifacts)
3. Hidden Mission (Cloak of NPC between 1.5k-2.5k)

Any thoughts?

How long would the effect last? Some NPC are stronger than others.

It's not an effect, the module decreases the chance for a NPC debuff from activating onto your ship.

If it was implemented as an ability with a cool down, I would support it, otherwise not.

A 10:1 defense to decks ratio? I'd buy it just for that...

The ability block? 18% total? Meh... So you use 18% less containment cages IF you cage every time you get hit with an NPC ability. Build a better ship and you won't have to worry about it. I for one just slog through the nerfs until I'm done with that particular NPC or set of NPCs (2 Hypergrids for example) then I cage.
