I don't mind battleship weapons and, once I figure out how you intend
to roll damage, I may say (not that anyone is impressed by my opinion)
that this is the way to go about it.  However, I'd like to give the
small ships *some* advantage--something like "thrust capacity not
applied to velocity changes may be used for evasive maneuvering.

"One thrust point of Evasive Maneuring increases the effective
range-to-target of all incoming fire by 3mu.  Exceptions: salvo
missiles, MT missiles, fighters, and plasma bursts (possibly MKP and
submunitions)."
