not impossible, just harder and with more casualties. if you dont have a stopper for your ship, then you have a planet that acts as a stopper for your projectile.

or maybe the slinger creates a field that dies before it reaches the target, and the ship "falls out of warp"
Hmm...I think that second method would be more desirable. So invasions would be possible, just slower.
