I'm going to go with practicality on this. You'd have to go around the end of the Alliance wall (penalty?--it is for moon rocks) or be very, very good at throwing over the Alliance wall such that the Super Cell a) bounces into the Outpost or b) lands within arm's length of the tied-down PS there. That's a hard throw!

Besides, of course, the (high) chance of a miss, in which case the Super Cell is placed on the field for anybody to pick up and score.
