I was thinking the class would have to have some Self Defense capability

to it. Much like the spartan PDS (two twin 50s and a 20mm) on a MTB of 
yore. Enough punch aside from the torpedos to deal with light stuff, but

not much beyond that...

They aren't meant to get close, just stand back and make runs on the Red

force rears/flanks. Go ahead, waste a Class three beam on it...I'd
rather 
you shoot at that than my BC thats slowly dissasembling your BDN...
