You know, I totally get it though. "Harpooned!" doesn't specify its timing, instead just saying "if you are hit by an attack and there is at least one uncanceled critical result...". That seems to trigger at the same time as TLT, which says "Each time this attack hits...". The timing appears to be identical.

Interesting though that the two effects are arguably owned by different players (as conditions attach to the ship and become part of it, speaking to the opponent in terms of "you" as though it were his effect), so it'd actually come down to initiative order. If you're fielding TLT and Harpoon Missiles, then you want to give initiative to your opponent so their Harpooned condition triggers before TLT clears its dice.

I think that's the tricky issue here. The timing matter can easily be errata'd or FAQ'd away if they don't want TLT and various munitions & cannons (like Tractor Beam) triggering it, but who owns conditions for the purpose of simultaneous triggers? There are implications that FFG will have to carefully consider. Who owns I'll Show You The Dark Side once it's assigned? Who owns Harpooned? Any time these trigger with one or more other effects, it could matter a lot...
