Shuttle vs. shuttle combat

I'm toying with the idea of this being possible in the adventure I'm running at the moment. I'm guessing that it could be role-played, but could also be played out via tabletop and hexes. I don't see them as being particularly manoeuvrable without some penalty, especially to the crew inside.<br /><br />A shuttle could perhaps be armed with a single heavy laser/Ke-5000 in a small turret. This allows shooting both in space and in atmospheres, and could draw power from a parabattery.<br /><br />I've not figured out the rules set too deeply just yet <img src="http://www.starfrontiers.us/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/p…; alt="Wink" title="Wink" border="0" /> It just popped into my head as an idea.
