Hi Guys,
An interesting way to beef up C batteries is to rescale all beam
batteries.  
	0-12	13-24	25-36	37-48
A	4	3	2	1
B	3	2	1	
C	2	1	
2A	8	6	4	2	2x3=6 mass
3B	9	6	3		3x2=6 mass
6C	12	6			6x1=6 mass
This makes 1 mass C batteries very ugly at short range, and B batteries
slightly better then A batteries on a per mass basis at short range.  Of
course C batteries would lose anti-fighter capability. 
I came up with this idea because I was sick of fighters guns having
equal range and firepower of C batteries.  Please let me know what you
think.
