The cargo hold can be used while in the pod, but only if the crate or object is near the bottom left corner of the pod, because of dumb code reasons. I think it had to do with the code having originally been for pods as single-square objects or something but meh.
There's already an EMP weapon, it's called a taser. Sec has a couple in its hangar.
The thing about using two secondary systems is that some of the fancier ones use a lot of power load, but I can see how that could at least be useful to pick up a cargo hold and such. It might actually make having the tractor beam system worth using since you'd actually be able to store shit you pull in.
All those other ideas are kind of neat. I particularly like the kinetic cannon idea, because catapulting things away is always hilarious fun.
