Using the D20 system I have already done that. As a matter of fact most of the polls that involve ship battles have been faught by myself and my rabid trekie buddies, with some interesting results. Although we don't use warp strafing or shuttles. :) I've been doing crossovers of my favorate Sci Fi universes for years. The Star Trek/Wars crossover was done back in 1999! I've been doing some fine tuning over the years to get it just right. Anyway I have found the rules fair and balanced. So do my rabid trekie players.
