Don't Panic (Hitch Hiker's Guide...)

Yeah, wasn't there a place where all the socks went when they were 'lost' in the dryer? Sort of the lost sock graveyard... or was that in another book?

Anyway, as we all know, in addition to carrying a great deal of static, the average sock also carries a very high quantum charge, allowing it to tunnel through the dryer, into another dimension, to a very specific location - the same place/dimension where all other lost socks go. This in essence would supply the owner of said dimension with all of the socks in the known Universe... given sufficient time.

Now if the owner of said dimension is able to use the socks to provide ship power, food for the crew, weapons' batteries, etc. then he/she/it essentially has obtained an undeminishable supply generator (see quantum generator in normal SEIV game). However this generator, unlike the quantum generator, would carry an incredible amount of static, enabling it to also fire off enormous lightning bolts at enemy ships. The only device that would effectively block it would be integrated Snuggles(tm) or Bounce(tm) armor.
