Your costing for this feels right at 4 NPV/Mass with standard beam masses.
A nice and simple approach. I'm just a little concerned, as per Roger's post, this would still make them a little too effective vs screens (though less effective than in the original proposal at least). I wouldn't like anyone to think that I'm out to create another weapon which renders screens completely pointless ;-).
Thanks for commenting Brendan, it is appreciated.
Cheers,
