How about if you rotate around like that then the difficulty of tracking the 
target while spinning your sensor arrays and turrets around like that has the 
effect of making your fire less effective in the same way that shields do?  

Weapons that don't use beam die could have the the numer rolled for hit or 
damage shifted one number to the defender's benefit..
