I just tried them out for the first time in my Last game and didn't think too much about them. However,I been thinking(always a dangerous thing).
What about using them defensively for support ships? Especially those than don't travel with the fleet.

old, good idea. while its a little of a gamble, plus not-the-best range, but unlike tractor/repulser they're not dependant on tonnage - which is always a good thing. Remember though that your support ships are very unlikely to hit. (no experience, facing enemies with probably stealth*scattering armor)

I was using them in my AI races form most of non-combat ships...
In the time when the Ionic Dispersers were able to skip shields, the WP with ID + WormHole Beam were very effective defending planets.

just mix SD/ID and ID/WG on the WP's and thats it
