RE: [FT] Wave Gun (was: OU & IC & FB3)

***
I think I remember somewhere in a EFSB conversion for Shadows (or maybe
it
was B5 Wars)that they used the Heavy Beam weapon mechanic but with a
massive
charge, and you could fire that one beam at multiple targets, but it
cost
you 1 die of damage to skip from the 1st to 2nd target, 2 dice from the
2nd
to 3rd, etc.  Those dice are then lost as they represent the beams
continuous fire between the targets.  All targets must be in the same
arc.

THAT'S more like the Shadow beam I'd envision!

I'd probably try a relatively small damage, but rolls on threshold,
including core, as the beam would cut ships; they gave relatively
localized
damage, but right through.

I'm not saying it'd be easy to balance, but these boys are BAD.
