To bad Divine Shadow didn't add a few Interdiction cruisers to the mix they would elmenate Warpdrive as a tactical option for the trek ships. And Before any trekkies say it Gravimetric distortion does disrupt and prevent warp travel. That's what Gravity Well Projectors do. Although for a somewhat different intention. I beleive that the Field would prevent warp travel locally (say the battlefield). Warspite, Divine Shadow, what do you all think?
