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

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 NOT earth / Narn lower tech weapons?

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

--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.
