Later: Oh, also. Ion disruptors would probably do systems damage, too? but we're a competent military deployment, so I figure we'd have our Bokites equipped with ion deflectors for this situation. IF the bokites would even have the space for it. You could just power down your shields to give up Za Powah for the other.

Bokites wouldn't come equipped with such things in standard issue. Their shields would be too weak to power down to supply energy for very much. The shields are mostly for small arms fire, radiation, small space debris, etc.
