I like this, though isn't firing at an MS on the hull just asking for 
friendly fire damage?

This I like, though how far do you take it.  What about Strengthening
Men - 
those really nasty New Types.  Of course that brings into use the whole 
Newtype Weapon thing.  Funnels, Fannels, Bits, Incom systems and the
like.  
And of course there are always the huge Mobile Armours which are the
size of 
small ships.
