That`s exactly what I mean. BUT, only off the first roll.

Yes, that`s what I was after. Note to self, must explain ideas better!

I was after a weapon with more dammage and a lot greater armour
penitration 
capabilities, with a single arc, for use with big warships as a konckout

close in punch, with dual mode PDS abilities. I made a guess at 3 mass
due 
to it being a multi shot  weapon aganst a MKP`s single shot.

What kind of stats do you think (or how should I alter this one) to
acheve
