    This is similar to the so called ‘Holdo maneuver’ from Star Wars: The Last Jedi … where they take a rebel ship on a suicide mission of deliberating flying it into a large Imperial ship.

    If spaceships can become very powerful sources of energy and exotic engines that can deliver and sustain massive amounts of energy … eventually someone is going to want to turn it into a weapon.

    If you can use the energy of a fancy star ship to propel a craft through space at very high speed, they can use the same technology to use it as a delivery system for a weapon … or just use the energy created as a weapon itself … or in the case of the Star Wars thing I mentioned above … just use the entire ship as a weapon … as Worf would have put it ‘IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!!!’
