No. I'm going to have to raise the flag on this one. Existing weapons DO
NOT do more to smaller ships. They have a greater effect sometimes
because
smaller ships reach their thresholds more quickly - an inherent problem
with their smaller hulls. That is why they are small and cheap, compared
to
larger hulls. There's a reason that SDNs cost 600+ points and frigates
are
only a tenth of that.
