How about "each individual weapon requires 1 firecon"?	I can't see
why a Beam3 would require 2 FC.

ie PTorps?  Needles?  I can see needles, but not torps.

A good idea but a) wouldn't you usually know what types of threat
you'll usually face? b) wouldn't the PDS programming automatically
take threat type into account?	Remember, this is a couple hundred
years in the future, even if we're mapping it from a WW2 paradigm.
