An interesting missile would be one that catches up to you, latches, and accelerates you to only 20 G or whatever is the minimum to kill you. Then when your crew is braindead it uses little maneuvering thrusters to spin you around and takes you back to the point of engagement, so your ship/secrets can be salvaged. I suppose a simple neutron bomb missile would be more efficient for this, and wouldn’t involve a long elliptic trip, so long as it didn’t fry your systems and data storage media. Edit: I asked ChatGPT and apparently there’s no sci-fi involving a missile that functions to latch and accelerate the target to enough Gs to kill the occupants. Did I invent this just now?
