Well, this is totally not what you wanted, but let me propse a related
system:

Long Range Scatter Pack (LRSP)
Mass: 3
Cost: 10

Fires a spread of long range missles that mirv into scatter packs when
they get close to their target.  Roll 1D6 and subtract the range in 6"
segments.  i.e. 0-6" - 1D6, 6"-12" - 1D6-1, etc.  Then roll that many
scatter pack dice.  This will ignore shields, but it not interceptable
by *DAF.  

Analysis:  This does signifigently less damage than an A beam against
unshielded targets.  and does worse against shield 1 targets at
> 18" range.  I would tend to mass this the same as an A bat if
you change the mass of the A bat.
