Another way to handle it but provide faster play is to divide the tons
of the
weapons by 1/2 or 1/4. Thus you wou would fit 2 (or 4) C Beams into 1
ton. Or a
Romulan Plasma beam, pardon me SMNC into 8 (or 4) tons. This would lower
the
damage point total and overall tonnage of the ships while maintianing
the
balance of the weapons.
