Taking previous posts into account, and rounding out the Traveller 
weapons/systems:

Treat Sandcasters and Repulsors as PDAF (with anti Missile capability as
in 
MT)
Treat Nuclear Dampers as PDAF but effective only against normal missiles

(not EMP or Needle 
missiles), but most ships have so many sandcasters that these can
probably 
be ignored.
Lasers and other turreted weapons can be used as anti missile (see MT
p5)

So here's the Atlantic Class Heavy Cruiser in FT terms:

MEGASHIP (75,000 tons)		150 Mega Mass 

75 Mega Mass available for Weapons and Systems.

				MMASS	COST
Hull				-	 3000
FTL Drive			-	 1500
Thrust -5			-	15000
1 Factor-N Meson Gun		19	  570
6 * 3-arc A batteries		 1.8	   78	(particle accelerators)
21 *1-arc Mega C batteries	21	  630	(laser turrets)
3 * Mega Missile		 6	  180
16 * Mega PDAF			16	  480	(sandcaster turrets)
1 * Factor-6 Meson Screen	 6	  180

TOTAL				69.8	21618
