Ahhh, but alarge mount repulor beam 3 could throw a ship halfway across the sector!

And of coarse, u can always repulse your own ships for a nice little boost of speed....

Can you target yourself? That would be great, a slingshot kamikazi escort launched for 10 spaces away!

A starbase with multiplex, engine-destroying beams, a few PPBs, and repulsor beams could make for a nasty warp-point defense. Immobilize a ship and hurl it backwards, so that it's still costing the attacker maintenance.
