As long as you keep the Kra'Vak technology seperate from Human
technology 
I have not noticed a serious problem.  I realize that some/all of the 
railguns are great weapons.  Isn't the max range of the railgun less
than 
A and AA batteries.  I am also assuming that most of the optional 
technology in MT is in play.  EMP missiles do nasty things to Kra'Vak 
ships as long as they haven't been allowed to add screens.  Also if you 
can maneuver fighters and/or missiles in against their ships, I have 
found the scattergun to be a poor substitute for C batteries/point 
defense.

I have only tried these ideas out a couple of times in testing.
