Better put it on a *very* strong-hulled ship, then :-/

Um. A bit hard on TMF 31+ ships... but what happens if the ship rolls
equal to or higher than TMF/5?

Fighters are definitely no bigger than 1 Mass, and according to Jon
much smaller. Since it is impossible to roll 0.2 or less on 1D6 they
can never be destroyed by this weapon, so why do they need to burn a
CEF to avoid it?
