Question for Oerjan or anyone: Would using simultaneous fire eliminate a lot
of the issue with large ships versus small ships? I imagine since everyone
would fire (at least in the first round, before the big ship baked something),
some of the "fire and cause thresholds first" advantage that is an artifact of
the alternating initiative would go away. This would be one way to help
counterbalance big

It helps some, but doesn't elevate it. Large ships still take less than
proportianl threshold checks, and systems that are lost to threshold checks
are repaired quicker.

Brian got it in one. Simultaneous fire removes one of the four main
big-ship advantages - the most powerful one to be sure, but that still
leaves the other three.
