I don't think adding just one more damage value type would be sufficient. You have weapons which damage just shield generators, engines, weapons, etc. Wouldn't you need to remember each type separately?

Whoops. Yes, you are correct. I never use component targeting weapons, so I had forgotten about them. However, you could just use the "extra internal damage" for them. That would cause a few slightly wierd effects, but all in all, I doubt you could abuse the effect or, possible, even notice it.
