Currently needles are 2 mass, 1 arc, 12mu range.

How about making them 3arc for 3 mass?  Since a B3 (mass 4) buys +1 arc
for
+1 mass (and gets a lot more area), I feel safe in saying this isn't

Shouldn't that be "Since a Pulser (Mass 2 for 1 arc) buys +2 arcs for
+1 mass"...? <g> In the few tests I've done with Pulser-arced Needle
beams, they seem to work OK. But, well... emphasis on *few* tests :-/

Later,
