Am I the only one who disagrees with this? All it needs is a little
common sence to create designs that 'feel' right. As has already been
pointed out, while a ship with a longer reach might be better at
maximum performance, once those threshold checks start taking effect,
or if someone is using needlers, that single A can be a liability.

Besides the jump from C to B to A is the best way of displaying
increased
technology as well as better weapons.
