That's what our group does.  I developed a spreadsheet in excel
computing
the AVG damage, 12 MASS of C, B, and A Batts does based on range,
screening and number of arcs.  I tweaked the mass cost of extra arcs for
each of the Battery types to get a performance curve I liked.  

I've noticed a great variety of designs using all three Battery types
in various configurations now.	Each design has it's own strength and
weaknesses.
