which doesn't mean it's *good*, just unusual.

I don't understand why you couldn't amass dice. You have to roll Beam dice, EMP dice, PTorps, Grasers, missiles and submunitions all separate from each other--but you do anyway. 
Note that I'm NOT saying to roll a B3 as three dice, then roll a B2 as two dice--I'm saying roll all the beam dice at once, then do all the rerolls, then all the rererolls.
