*** For that matter, mounting '''weapons''' might be redundant - just ask the crew of the [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Nadesico]].
** Note that it takes a really strong and accurately-placed gravity field to significantly change the trajectory of a laser beam or anything else moving at relativistic speeds - a field which, apart from theoretically consuming an extremely large amount of energy to maintain (depending on your flavour of Phlebotinum), might have [[
** However, manipulation of a gravity field probably won't get you to translight, unless you're in a "gravity is warp" model like GRT and use it to form Alcubierre warp drive.
* '''[[Nanomachines]]''', fullstop. It'd be easier to list the things you couldn't do with nanomachines than the things you can, yet they're frequently introduced as a plot-device for one specific thing and never used for anything else.
