A different take on Planet Driver. Anyway to turn a small moon into a weapon. Mount some engines on it ( alot of engines) add some explosives maybe (though the kinetic energy should dwarf any explosives), perhaps even defenses to fight off the inevitable counterattacks as the moon hurtles towards its intended target. Thinking this thing could warp also (And take a lot of damage before being destroyed maybe even have a crew). A really big rock with sufficient speed could devestate a planet. If not a moon, how about a gravity slide that would pick up large asteroids (from an asteroid field of cousre) and fling them at the enemy. Probably not through a warp point though. Depends on how you think a warp point works. As just a conduit or as something you have to navigate.
