Agreed the energy capacitor seems to fit, is the accounting easy in play

testing? Your rules sound logical but it doesn't stick as easily as the
A beam = 
3 dice rules of the core do. I know its a trade off between simplicity &

accuracy. I'd certainly need to keed referring back for all the if then

clauses about jump drives collapsing and capacitor brew ups.

--I'm quite pleased with the arc reliant interceptors.

I agree this gives nice tactical play with the right feel. Couldnt we
say that 
the B%EW are the equivalent to A bats in other genres and using them for
point 
defence is impossible. Why create a new class?	B%EW == AA or == A bats.
I'd 
limit interceptor point defence to %DAF & C bat systems.

Good, better tech == no charge time.

-- but lack intercept mode for their energy weapons

But NOT earth / Narn lower tech weapons?

-- and a 4)

a 4 what?

--I always class the White Star as a Destroyer

Its hard to get the scale against Shadow Ships, I always felt it was a
cruiser.

--RBREW (Big Yellow Energy Weapon and Really Big Red Energy Weapon)

On my Tv Shadow cutting beam is Magenta or Violet, Earth Force & Narn
have BREW.
:-) Vorlons have an energy ball weapon that the ships hold then release?
This 
isn't covered.
