Well, that's the way we always played it in our group.	We reversed the
original letter progression (A was large, now A is smallest), and
scrapped the
AA for the D-class beam battery (4d, 48" range).  Not having the Fleet
book
yet, this seems to be correct.	I like it, personally.	It allowed us to
do
really out-there things, like F-class beams & higher (big spinal
mounts).

A question to those who have both the Fleet Book & the EFSB - Is it
worth
getting both?  Are they mostly dupes, or different?
