We've seen in one of the earlier boltcracker eps that you can 'catch' a small ship in a cargo lock frame (kinda... violently stop is probably more accurate).
My question is, can you use a cargo lock frame to 'catch' a missile or torpedo?
And if yes, could you create a defence system designed to catch a warhead before it impacts the hull?
And no, I haven't really thought far enough ahead to know what to do with said warhead if you somehow managed to catch one.
And yes, I realise that the most likely answer is 'no you can't' or 'the warhead would just explode in the frame, destroying the frame.'
For the record, I don't at all imagine this being cost effective, practical, or even doable really, but I'm just throwing ideas out there.
