A Spaceships missile given a good runup hits like nothing I can think of referents for...it makes rail guns look underpowered. At a fairly leisurely 2 mps, that 44lb bomb delivers about 500lb TNT energy equivalent, and it's directed into the target's hull, probably carried by a few purpose-built high-density penetrator rods.

What if they only have Pseudovelocity drives?
