Actually over on the "Fullthrust" list it was quoted as an "optional 
rule" so I suggested a higher points cost for the specialized beam 
(same mass) and a specialized, dedicated higher points cost FireCon 
for that Needle Beam battery (can be more then one beam)and no other 
purpose.  I don't think I worded that exactly that way come to think 
of it but that's my thoughts on such a system.	I'm going to have to 
bring it up on the GZG list Jon Tuffley is on and get some feedback 
there too.

Gracias,
Glenn/Triphibious

Oh, and reduce the range, maybe 'back' to 9" (It's 12" iN the Fleet 
Books?)

Gracias.

those specialized ones would be deadly, one hit to the power core and
kiss
your SD goodbye!

Allow 1-6 turns to repair the damage with plusses for specialized 
damage control Teams (I forget FB term for them...) but yes, it would 
be deadly.  

Costing it would be something for the guru's on the GZG list to work 
out to see if it could be balanced enough to allow in a game.  

There currently is a system by system discussion of proposed optional 
weapon/defense systems being undertaken <no pun intended> (one system 
roughly weekly) on that list.

Gracias.
