Meteor Defense Weapon & superconductor grid

The weapon is controlled by the embedded grid.

If firing onto, oh, the Hot Needle while crossing the Great Ocean,
OK. But if firing on a straight-in approaching ship, or meteor; the
grid excitation must keep rotating anti-spinward to present a fixed
field in reference to the target.

So that is going to induce a electric field in any other conductor
in the field's area....not no mention yanking any ferrous metal tools
along for a ride.

I'd hate to be in a floating city anywhere nearby, as well.

well, first, I'd imagine the grid projects where the target is going to be 3
hours from now and fires there in the first place. It's a meteor defense; I
doubt it's intended to track ships. When we DID see it zap ships, there was a
Protector at the controls. And they zapped Kzinti as the came out of
Fist-of-God, so they must have been waiting for them . .

But

If the grid aims the meteor defense, it must have to do some really nasty stuff
to make the beam hit anywhere BUT on the surface of the arch.
