I think it would have been possible to express Kylo Ren's ability using the existing mechanics, it would be tiny little print, but something like:

'ACTION: Choose 1 enemy small or large ship at Range 1-3. Until the end of the Combat Phase, if that ship suffers a critical damage during an attack, it is dealt a faceup Damage card with the Pilot trait of your choice.'

covers nearly every aspect of the above. However, using the existing mechanics doesn't solve FFG's main problem: there's not much wiggle room left in the core mechanics of X-wing. They needed to add some new rules, or the game would have stagnated.
