Re: Those annoying aliens...

A quick thought on railguns;  how about simulating their much greater
transit time between firer and target by letting beams fire first.  If a
railgun-armed ship announces that it's firing on a beam-armed ship, the
latter is permitted a "reaction fire" on the railgun-ship, provided it
hasnt
already fired.
