Re:[EFSB, FT] Emines and beam costs

that's Valamir's B5 design rules. mailto:valamir@aol.com

I'm not sure about those deisgn decisions, I'm more concerned with 
the treatment of the Twin Arrays. I think they should be 2xClass-1 
batteries which fire as PDFs at fighters and missiles; Valamir has 
them as Class-2 batteries which overstates the range of the B5W 
weapon.
