"No Roll to Hit"

Just to point out:

According to the standards that some are complaining about concerning
HBs,
regular Beams also have "no roll to hit."

1-3 results in no damage, and 4-6 results in varying amounts, but they
always roll that damage die - without a single roll to hit.

Granted that HBs are assured of damage at ranges 0-6 MU as they are
currently written. At 13 MU, however, 1-2 results in no damage, and 3-6
results in varying amounts. This should sound familiar.

They ARE balanced with P-Torps as currently written (at least according
to
strict statistics , though playtesting could pick up something that we
missed or wasn't factored in).

My challenge to the naysayers is: if you don't agree, or don't like it,
fine. However, provide a constructive alternative. The basic elements of
any criticism should include recommendations for  change or improvement.
