What if Twitch Surge lowered your accuracy and defense by 5% each for the turn it was used during. It might be tricky to fit in given that it seems to last less than 1 turn currently, but I think if it were possible it would accomplish two things:
1) Make Twitch Surge very very risky as your only approach option if you're both relying on weapon cripples and thinking you can avoid most attacks with your base defenses.
2) Make complaints about Xeno twitch surges slightly less of an issue. If they're twitch surging they're a tiny bit less likely to hit you, at least.
An even better but more complicated piece would be to have ships with engine Agility below 15 take a 10% penalty to both accuracy and defense for 1 turn, but ships 15 and above would not be hit by that. (Or heck, grade it as a 0 to 10% penalty from ship engine agility 15 to 5 or something.)
