Way fights go in the world of Elite, without the game mechanics simplifying things, it would also mean you have a glaring weakness that no amount of armor tank would be able to cover. I mean, these engine pods can't be all that armored, and they are easily accessible for enemy fire from any angle.

But I guess point is kind of moot, since in any realistic scenario within an Elite-like world first and last thing to go after shields go down would be canopy, taking down the pilot as well.
