Back when I played home world cataclysm, there was an option with the shield generator ships to setup a shield wall.
While one can't weave a wedge wall together, one wonders if one could make a shield ship say a framework with extra sensors and or multiple keyhole and other tethered unmanned platforms. Some kind of telemetry ship / platform. Using its wedge to impose itself between incoming missiles and ships behind it. Set one at 90 degrees or two at 45 degrees. Might even be able to do this with some kind of ghost rider platform variant.
By frame I mean just that a framework a small inner core with bottle, a fairly large beta node ring and telemetry antennas platform tethers and without any crew on board, perhaps just FTL linked control systems. With tractor beams so they can be towed through hyperspace.
Option to have Something that can run up fast to meet enemy ships possibly carrying missile pods perhaps destroyer sized no other weapons although perhaps full point defense. No crew no compensators and 3000+ g accelerations. Even if they are detectable Destroyers that accelerate at 3000+ g's would be even more spooky. Missiles might not even be in pods but in open racks perhaps a 1000 missile huge and fast pod.
Launching something like this at 300 million klicks would change the whole combat situation but then this might take the drone concept somewhere RFC doesn't want to go. Kind of like a big ghost rider / missile pod and then point defense to intercept any missiles fired by any surviving ships if they ever get into range. With stealth some of these ships might go undetected. Suppose they could be uncrewed LAC sized ships too. Without other weapons a pile rather than bottle may also work. And they could be carried by a CLAC or other similar ship.
