Good point.  I like the idea of a random roll to see if it might hit the
originating ship.  If the needle beam gets reflected, it would seem the
reflected energy might not be as coherent as when it was fired by the
needle
beam weapon.  How about treating it as a single C-beam battery to hit
since
it is a single weapon system and probably would be reduced in
effectiveness
if its beam was dispersed.
