I agree with this interpretation of the rules. For your Trekkers, how
else
could the Enterprise fire a full spread of torpedoes? Torpedoes have a
shorter range (i am almost sure) than beams. I think if you thought the
other way, how could 3 different beam systems engage 1 target at extreme
range? You need heavier computing systems ( ie: more fire cons) to track
and
attack targets far away. If you are scared of them stay away from them.
(seems like I am rambling. hope everyone follows this post)
