How do you 'send a mirror ahead'? Do you want it to stop, or just keep flying away indefinitely?

Yep, throwaway mirror, it goes off to wherever once it's done bouncing light back at your ship. Again, much less efficient, so when you get where you want to go, you'd want to put in a laser station there too.
