Running into these little shits during my tabletop game has made me far too aware of the damage they can do to you! I say we need MORE options to get rid of it, I'd love a cinematic of my character actively throwing one off the ship.
It can jump off the ship by itself. I had it happen couple of times where it jumps after your character and if you don't move out of the way it bounces off them and falls in the gap before you get to Lae'Zel. Not sure if a bug or a feature, but kinda funny nonetheless.
