Yes please.

But not as complicated or as many rule extensions.

Something like the old Snapshot system for fighting through those
ship corridors.  In our current games the GM hand draws a rough situation
map and we place markers (in the form of potatoe chips, jelly beans,
smarties, dice, erasers, bottle tops) and then move them around with all
sorts of scale problems (not to mention accidentally eating someone's
carefully placed jelly bean  er  character).

Markable/eraseable map sheets would be nice too.
