Thus my idea to remove sensor "battles" from the tabletop and limit them
to
the campaign system only. This should keep both parties - maybe not
exstatic, but at least happy.

This unbalances the cost of the beam weapons. Forcing them to take an
additional system for effective use defeats the purpose.

I'm becoming more inclined to give this a try. Has anyone playtested it
yet?

Your ranges seem quite short to me - even for tabletop play. It seems
that
you have to get REALLY close to see much of anything.
