As a firm believer in the use of Needle Missiles, a controversy arose
concerning the ability of DC parties to repair needle beam damage.
The general consensus was that needle beams *fry* the system and couldn't be
repaired until the ship was in a base with repair faculties. However, there is
nothing written in the rules (FT,MT,FB) that makes this interpretation legit.
Alas, as I am stuck playing with rule lawyers, I need a resolution to this
situation.

Of course.... if you really don't want to get hung up by the rules...
You could always go with the story that systems could be restored... the
DC parties manage to re-route through other systems.... and jury-rig
with spare parts....
Say.....
2 DC checks to bring systems hit by needle beams back on line. And even
then... half power? with another 1 or 2 DC checks it can be brought up
to 2/4s?
