I know what you mean! I think that "game ender" technologies like that need to take into account more than just the device themselves; obviously, it would require huge stores of energy to use such an exotic device, and a game could be balanced by requiring an enormous ship with relatively little protection of its own, for the sake of having enough room for generators and supplies to make multiple uses of the weapon viable.

Anyway, thanks for your response!
