I agree with the presentation of the answers to 1,2,
and 3, but I have reservations about number 4.
I would suggest that the following:
If the beam weapons are beyond normal range
an additional die may be thrown with a normal
'to hit' for a maximum of one damage point.
EPT and similar weapons can get half damage
under this suggestion.	(But limiting the 
use to just beams would be better.)

I just have a problem with anything that 
'increases' the maximum effective range 
of weapon systems.

I would suggest that you have a basic 'CFC'
with the provision to add 1 mass for each
additional ship the CFC can control.

Bye for now,
