[Alneyan]

You do not actually need a weapon for such designs, unless you want to make them enter the fray as soon as the battle starts.

But you are not mean enough with a mere handful of escorts; you should back them by a few Storm Creators instead. Some wonderful combat to-hit minuses and shield removing storms would certainly be a nice addition for your boarding fleet. Of course, you still need to lure the enemy to your trap, and a few Security Stations would ruin your day, but if it does work... bring the champagne!
