Sounds like you need a scenario specfic house rule. Perhaps you could
implement a system where a ship within so many inches of another target
can
"take the bullet" (i.e. jump in the way). I don't recommend this rule
for
every game, and I think it could be easily misused, but it might make
your
scenario work.
