[@Jbcool] I mentioned before the possibility of the ship Lucius is on using a drill to burrow into the Hulk on impact. Maybe it could be the case that, I don't know, a lot of the outer shell of the top half inexplicably turns into a drill? Or at least some portion of the top/front of the ship. And then something something gravity ensues, and all the people aboard who are still alive exit through the front when it blows off. Really, it's the drill suggestion that needs the go-ahead from you rather than anything else, and that can just be the ship ramming into the Hulk full-speed if needs must.
