It just reduced the number of dice you have to roll (generally a good
thing).  Also, Depending on the way you do rerolls, damage can get
high quickly.

The trouble with only a 3" bracket for the R1's is that it only shoots
out to 15".  And that smaller brackets mean more fiddly measuring.
And 9" brackets on the R3 means it shoots out to 45".  The only other
weapon that can touch this is a Class 4 beam.  Do we want to give the
Kra-Vak that much of a range advantage?  And if we do that sucker had
better be really massive.  I don't want small fast ships sitting out
of range playing tag type game.

I can be talked into 3/6/9 brackets, I'm just worred that it makes too
much difference between the classes.  And that the R3 gets really
REALLY nasty.
