Another item I was thinking about is how much space the equipment cards take up. I thought that I'd offer a suggestion to improve the layout there:

If you switched the where the mounting restriction (bottom in red) and the equipment type (top grey bar) are located on the cards, it would put all of the information you needed during the game (as opposed to pregame) on the bottom third of the card, which would make it possible to stack them up, covering the top portion of the card, allowing you to need less table space.

Another idea for speeding things up:
Color code the text on the internal hit cards: blue for tires, red for power plant, grey for armor. Use orange for fire, and pick colors for the other things that can be hit. Put the text on the cards for the item type in the matching color. Voila... a way to quickly see which items on a side are hit without having to read the fine print. I think it would also still works for color blind folks, as they can still read the words.
