Yea, I was torn about that.  But since PT's got some extra range I
felt bad about not giving RG's a boost.

I want railgun technology that I can take up against beams without
having to work out a handycap like the current 3 for 2 point rule
against the Kre'vac.  I mostly just want the alternate weapon system
