Perhaps then skill would become a more prominent factor. Hitting a VHF with a snac is not exactly easy, and avoiding one would make the difference of being skillful, or not. VHF's already have an advantage over bombers. I mean, according to the energy output, a snac probably should kill any fighter with one hit.

if it is in a state that has LOTS of room for improvement then it might as well be broken
Unfortunately, your suggestion is not an improvement.
It also changes very little about repair ships. In fact, many repair ships don't want to risk even a second without shields if up against bombers, so they'll bat up before it ever reaches zero.

Do any of you have any clue on how to implement this?

This. ^^^^
If it was easy to implement, it would've been implemented in vanilla Freelancer.
Well, it's not that hard for the game devs but it's definitely something for the mod devs who didn't build the game from scratch.

How about implementing headshots on ships? O:

SNAC. Mortars and Razors. We already have sniper weapons.

Nah more like, giving the heaviest ships some critical hit points. So they make more damage, and can be abused by smaller strike craft. That way, instead, the strike craft would focus on those parts and maybe have less overally powerful weapons against caps.
But meh, this is not a very serious suggestion.

Kind of like aiming at the engines in the vanilla mission against the RNC cruisers O:
