That would cost a heck-ton of energy, of course, but if I could actually do it somehow I imagine that would do a lot of damage. The energy consumption, size, overall cost, and comparative effectiveness of such a weapon makes it a less attractive choice. Unless someone has blasted all your laser weapons to tiny ruby bits. That and it might lose speed, but wouldn't lose too much effectiveness as it travelled in space. If your lasers have all been destroyed and you've run out of kinetic torpedoes and flak shells, you're screwed anyway because your power was going to the lasers.
