Micheal,
     I am rather against the concept of having 'beams' on planets.
An orbital battle station/s is better for the 'space' aspect of 
FT.   Another reason, perhaps more valid in game justification
terms, would be: Ortillery has no reason to exist if the beams
can reach the ground.  

Bye for now,
