Just FYI. The Particle beam ship could shoot down the Rail gun ship, 
yes. It would howevr have a reaaly bad time shooting down the Rail 
gun round. PB's are not that great against inert metal, which is all 
a rail gun round is. Unless they use metal banded polymers as a 
round, the PB's may be more effecttive against those.
