<shrug> from my POV, a scrolling table is a given unless otherwise
specified.
In vector, this is a trivial battle.  Turn 1, the KV accelerates in
amount in any direction.  Turn 2, the BC rotates and thrusts to match
the KV's acceleration from Turn 1, then it rotates to face the KV and
fires.	Rinse and repeat as needed.  In Cinematic it's more work.

By the way, I tend to agree with you that I'd like larger beams to be
more effective (ie do more damage at longer range)--I like the WW1
dreadnought model.  That doesn't mean it's necessarily balanced, just
that it's what I'd prefer.
