Yes, but its fun to pick either Thrakath or Hobbes to _cripple_ -
floating helpless in space, while you go deal with the other.  Sneak
up, lock on, decloak and stick two Leeches up his tail.  You can't get
sloppy, cause you can't completely clear the nav point of what are
they, Pakthans? (though you could disable THEM if you want, w/leeches)
but you can circle back and savour toasting a helpless Thrakath (I
would only do this to Thrakath, your mileage may vary). "BioWar this,
fuzznuts!"
