This sounds agreeable to me.  It is simpler and cleaner.  I can live
with 
this.

The strongest argument against this is the pulse-topedo/missile one.  I
WAS 
for the re-rolls.  I wanted to remain true to the EFSB.  But the
internal 
consistency of the FT mechanics is more important to me.  Another link
could 
be historical.	IIRC we discussed the HB as a UN weapon developed from 
existing pulse-torpedo technology.  I don't know if that was ever agreed

upon, but it is how I will play my UN minis (as soon as I order them).

I guess if I want the
godawefullyexpensivemegadestructoheatrayweaponofdeath I 
will have to use the nova cannon and wave guns.  (I liked Brian's
Focused 
Wave Gun.  I may use that as a Romulan mauler device to convert one of
my SFB 
friends over to the side of good.)
