The design system was set up to discourage outrageously huge beam
weapons, so I wouldn't be very concerned about this. Besides, 1-2 Mass
extra doesn't matter much when a single C5 battery is *at least* 16
Mass...  I don't think a ship with C5s will have only a single
single-arced one :-/ Similarly the 30 extra points for Superior sensors
aren't that much for a dreadnought.
