It depends on how you visualize space combat. Those like myself prefer
the "Star Wars" look with capital ships blasting each other at not
much more then spitting distance. For those who prefer the massive scale
with planets represented by a circle a couple of inches across
these minimums would seem odd.

I personally have been experimenting with various other changes
in beam mass, ranges, etc as well as rate of fire.
C's fire 2 times per turn, B's once, A's every other or perhaps
C's at rof 1, B's rof 1/2, A's 1/3 or something similar.
