That sounds like you have to ask someone's permission to fire weapons at
them.
Someone in the nexus mag said it best: "Use everything! You paid for
it!"
Those players (those on the old ADB) had a habit of designing a new rule
after they got trashed. The Mauler weapon in SFB is supposed to be the
result of one of the designers getting trashed in a Tholian Web.
One of the hardest things in game design is to resist making a change
after you have lost a game...I have messed up one of my own game designs
that way. (Which makes me madder than the game I lost.)
