	''Useful, I suppose, if you create a campaign involving a new class of warship that carried subspace-capable missiles to attack a juggernaut-scale threat from a safe distance. The mission involving this would need a limit of runs that could be made with a very long cooldown time (a minute or more, I think) to simulate the limited supply of massive and prohibitively expensive torpedoes capable of such a feat and the time it would take the ship to reload and retarget. I reckon the missiles would have to be close to Erinyes or Boanerges-sized if not more to be believable to produce the size of blast wanted with a subspace device, fuel and engine speed. I suppose the current day equivalent would be a cruise missile using GPS for general guidance with laser guidance for the final approach.}}		''Useful, I suppose, if you create a campaign involving a new class of warship that carried subspace-capable missiles to attack a juggernaut-scale threat from a safe distance.}}
