I have been in a few situations where an allied planet gets attacked and I have no phase stabilizers nearby to get my fleet there to support. It's always bothered me that a superweapon that can create a phase lane can't be used to support an ally planet.
My suggestion is to make it so the Kostura can also be used on ally gravity wells as a phase stabilizer minus the structure disable.
Yes I think your ally in need would be very happy with a Kostura hit on his planet that disables most of his defenses.
On a more serious note though, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to target owned (and possibly also allied) planets with it. A feature like this would also make the Deliverance Engine a lot more useful.

hmm sure add in another reason to play vasari over the other races! Its not as if the vasari have a lack of options when it comes to movement.

Sarcasm aside, the kostura is already a very good weapon as it is, and is the only super weapon that you need 1 of to be extremely effective.
The Deliverance Engine CAN target freindly planets!
I disagree that a Kostura should target freindlies too.
SuperWeapon Summary.
I never build those things though. Waste of resources if you ask me. Better build a starbase with Evangelization Node upgrades.
Hmmm..... might be a good idea. Try to mod the game so you can shoot the Kostura at allied planets, play a round w/ the Vasari, see what happens.
