I tried something similar with mediocre results.

I ran into the same problem...

A very simple tech level system one might wish to try...

Use TL to modify TOTAL damage delivered to the target (+1/level if
target is 
a lower TL, -1/level if it's higher).  I wouldn't add bonus damage per 
weapon tho, just per volley.  If you modified each weapon's damage 
seperately, a moderatly higher TL ship would do too much damage (IMO),
and a 
slightly lower TL ship might not be able to score any damage at all.

Just my 2 cents...
