Note: Warp weapons can be quite handy on a support ship.
Since they teleport the ship to a random location on the combat map, they are usually more effective than repulsor beams would be. Most of the time, the enemy will end up 3-4 turns away from combat, and you'll improve your odds locally.
Funny, I thought wormhole beams placed the target X number of squares away in a random direction, where X was the damage of the weapon, so a regular WB would place you 5 squares away, a Large Mount 10 squares, a Heavy Mount 15 squares, and a Massive Mount 20 squares

One other thing to remember, too, is that wormhole beams work vs. ANY size ship - you can even beam starbases around with your escorts... or drones! (Hmm, that could be an interesting strategy in Devnull... )
