As we are talking about ST, I thought I'd repost my idea about
long range beams and Disruptors.

LR-Beams.

Class |1-6"  |6-12" |12-18" |18-24" |24-30" |30-36" |36-42" |42"-48"
------+------+------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
C     |1d6   |1d6   |1d6    | not able to use anti-fighter mode.
B     |1d6   |1d6   |1d6    |1d6    |1d6    |1d6    |	    |
A     |2d6   |2d6   |2d6    |2d6    |1d6    |1d6    |1d6    |1d6
------+------+------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------

Disruptors

Class |1-6"  |6-12" |12-18" |18-24" |24-30" |30-36" |36-42" |42"-48"
------+------+------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
C     |2d6   |1d6   |	    | not able to use anti-fighter mode.
B     |3d6   |2d6   |1d6    |	    |	    |	    |	    |
A     |4d6   |3d6   |2d6    |1d6    |	    |	    |	    |
------+------+------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------

You'll notice that in both cases, C batterys roll more dice, but A
have a longer range. No weapon is 'better' than another, simply
different.
