Thinking about it has made me want to use a Telekinesis based anti-missile system! :P

The DF mind flayer substitute from DF2 uses CM and telekinesis to have an appalling number of attacks and parries.

Once you're letting 'mental maneuvers' be used for independent physical actions, you shouldn't worry about the maneuver letting you move...the PD-control compartment isn't going to be doing the moving, but a different compartment could.

Though figuring out how or if the gunning compartment's shooting should be penalized due to the driving compartment's activities...

Probably not, actually...vehicle operation still uses combat maneuvers. See B467-468.
