Rather than have it come in from your ship, (which is presumably also on the planet with you) it would be cool if another player had to respond to the laser. Either as part of the same mission, or an independent mission.
Say one player accepts a mission to laze an enemy stronghold, and another player has to accept a linked mission to perform the bombing run on the lazed target, and provide air support throughout the mission.
Think the COD missions where one player is on the ground and the other is up in an AC-130.

That could be fun but their could be a major breakdown if not enough people wanted to do bombing runs, as for the ship being on the surface i was kind of building off my idea for an orbital drop in this thread http://www.bungie.net/7_A-drop-system-from-space/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60299041
