(The scifi part is not the only one where I use that, I also apply it to large fantasy monsters in my current superheroic fantasy game)
This is fairly convergent with the occasionally-discussed option of adjusting wounding factors by the size of the target. Except that that would also factor in very big weapons, like nearly all Spaceships weapons, starting from a more favorable position than small arms.
