In our group we changed grazers to be D3 per hit instead of the D6 and 
halved the mass in compensation.

This seems to work fine and produces a slightly more predicable result
sets.

Typically in each battle a fleet of ships with grazers will get one set
of 
rolls that = a dead enemy ship.

We found the original D6 damage per hit to be a bit over powered for our

groups tastes.

The thing we are having concerns over at the moment is SV weapons. Each 
stinger node can have an unlimited amount of power diverted to it. We
are 
using homebrew designs so its quite possible to have a battleship with
40 
power output 4 dice to 48 inches and 40 dice up close.

What are other peoples experience is fighting with and against SV ships?
