Same here.

I take it that you mean opportunity fire allows you to fire at any
target,
regardless of whether or not it was the plotted target? I think the
modifier
would work but I don't really think it gains you anything. You might
find
that the majority of shots are fired with the penalty. And the penalty
would
have to be defined differently for every weapon system. This would muddy
what is currently a very clean system.
