I'm not sure a needlebeam fits. A more indirect answer would be a set of B5
designs I did many years ago. The Whitestar is at the bottom of the page:

I used just plain beam-2s for the pulse weapons, since they
behave very much like all the other beam/plasma weaponry
in B5.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm using K-guns to represent Heavy Beams, as grazers don't give the
right
"feel", so I currently have a K-4 + 3 x Pulsar-M (1 arc) + 2 pds.
The pds was to give the whitestar's a small chance to survive in the fighter
rich environment of B5.
I might increase the pulsars to 2-arc, as all-F armament has been hard
to bring to bear in testing.

What's the thrust rating on the White Star?

I give my White Stars 4 PDS (heavy cruiser mass 88 hull) and an ADFC. In the
episode "A View From the Gallery" at least, and from memory in others too,
White Stars actively hunt enemy fighters.

cheers,
