OK!  Give Glyphstone a cigar!  With that, we could deliver a laser battery attack to knock down any void shields, and THREE lance hits to follow them up, scoring three critical hits in a single attack, to port or starboard at 9 range... technically, with Captain Jack... (darn it, pick a name already, brain!) as a Master of Gunnery, we could probably hit with everything at range 18.  Talk about nasty...
