I agree. IMC we have "disruptors" for example which are identical to
normal
beams except that screens are twice as effective vs. them. These
represent
the "original" technology and are in fact the only legal beam tech that
non-military ships can mount... I also use old vs. new versions of the
Pulse-Torps & Needle Beams in the same manner in addition to other
home-brew
items.
