I've always been 'enamoured' with the idea of using some modification of
the 
old BattleTech heat chart to do a Langston field. Threshold points on
the 
chart would result in internal damage, localized burn throughs,
hot-spots, and 
(finally) make the roll of have the field collapse and your ship take
all the 
remaining damage.

Never got around to figureing a good way to play the 'energy bleed' 
(heat-sinks) but I still love the idea :o)
