Which effectively neutralises the ship as far as the battle goes. Much
the
same hear. All the sensor and fire control arrays are going to be
hanging
outside the hull. And lets not forget the ol' shot up the tailpipe.

And the ships armament is vulnerable to an extent, especially the light
stuff.
Come to think of it we should have special rules for firing at a ship
recovering or launching fighters. Nasty stuff getting shot though an
open
hanger bay, could get grim if something big hits in there. Brings back
memories of cool scenes from Battlestar Galactica and from the Wing
Commander novels, especially _End Run_ and _Fleet Action_.
