I agree... It's kinda sad they never saw the array until they got too close, and got blasted into oblivion, and I feel sorry for the Protagonist because he probably feels no hope of rescue.

Actually, in theory, I think the array overloads the most unstable item or the item that needs the most energy in the ship that's approaching or making a slingshot maneuver.

I would feel devastated for life if I saw this IRL.
