what you are thinking, but how about a simple version.

Each unused thrust point can be applied to either fore, port, starboard,
or
aft sections. This can be represented by using a small die with the
number
of applied points on the pertinent side of the model on the table. Those
points then absorb that many damage points that turn from hits on that
section.

Example: Kirk says 4 points to thrust and 2 points to aft shields. The
ship
plots as normal, but you place a die (2 pip up) directly behind the
model on
the table. That die is removed at the end of the turn, if no damage is
applied to that section. Otherwise, it will absorb 2 aft hits.

I know I am thinking FT2 in a FT2.5 world, but that's how I think.
