Actually over on the "Fullthrust" list it was quoted as an "optional rule" so
I suggested a higher points cost for the specialized beam (same mass) and a
specialized, dedicated higher points cost FireCon for that Needle Beam battery
(can be more then one beam)and no other purpose. I don't think I worded that
exactly that way come to think of it but that's my thoughts on such a system.
I'm going to have to bring it up on the GZG list Jon Tuffley is on and get
some feedback there too.

Gracias,
Glenn/Triphibious

Oh, and reduce the range, maybe 'back' to 9" (It's 12" iN the Fleet Books?)

Gracias.

those specialized ones would be deadly, one hit to the power core and kiss
your SD goodbye!
