Re: Points balance on K-guns vs Beams

Thanks for your comments, Oerjan especially. If I can summarise:

1. Yes, there is a disparity in points/effectiveness on the low-level
Beams 
vs K-Guns.  This is more likely to show up at the low-level, small-ship 
"vanilla" FB2 squadrons I am using, hence wiped-out KV squadrons (almost

irrespective of tactics).
..However...
2. ...the points do not necessarily work out well when using vector 
movement anyway (which, as you correctly guessed, in some guise or
another 
is the only movement system I use).

I think I have a partial answer: just playtest and work out a relative 
points factor for the smaller ships.  As I like the movement prediction,
I 
am loathe to move back to cinematic.

btw, Whilst this is probably acedemic now but as you asked I uploaded
the 
work-spreadsheet with the simple range functions I used (which just
prove 
the above).  It now has a link, which helps.

Have fun,
Tim Bancroft (Stonehenge - not close enough for a KV tactics lessen!)
