Try just giving the "cockpit" component a weapon, described as bare hands. You can then add your shield or bow.

You do realize that that will require players to not choose a "normal" trait during race design...

As for the sun stuff, you are really getting overkill there. Bigger is not always better, and in this case, your enemy would have to counter-attack with more DNs than can fit in a tactical combat screen.
You've already gone past the hardcode limits on "constructed extraterrestrial phenomena" for fairness.
