Minor Quibble. Class 1 Railguns are in fact MORE effective than any 
of the other classes. Why? Because chance to hit is the same for all 
classes, so 3 class one will perform more consistently than a class 
3. OK so your own personal tastes come into play, but I'd rather do 4 
points of damage than a random chance of none 3 or 6.

Use the fighter moral rules, and fighters simply can't attack a 
Kra'Vak ship with scatterguns intact.
