Reading pagrooves piece of fiction brought me to another idea: in a mission it could be used by an NPC to kidnap the player.
Imagine you are going about your business, flying from system to system. Eventually, a yellow blip starts following you, gets close, and fires the witchspace missile point blanc. You are transported to an anarchy system and your scanner shows that you are surrounded by lots of red blips. One of the gang tells you over the intercom to abandon your ship in your escape capsule. Once you do, you are being scooped up and taken to a secret pirate base/corporate station/whatever
Oh, and your WMD doesn't work, apparently it has been tampered with while you were docked at the last station
