Presumably the point defense is precise enough to do this. any damage 
would be negligeble. PDS has hard enough of a time damaging a ship when 
its trying to.

One thing I relized was that the Mobile Suits should be succeptable to 
the target ship's PDS when approaching _AND_ leaving. If they for some 
reason decide to leave before mission killing the ship, it gets to shoot

at them as they depart. 

Would it make sense to allow Mobile Suits to trash specific systems once

they are on the ship, ala a needle beam?
