I agree with Beth.  Wave Guns as written would do best in a
cruiser--actually several cruisers with overlapping fire.  Below are
specs for the Alarishi Empire's wave-gun system defense vessels:

AE Tunguska CSW 68m 228pt
Thrust 6
FTL No
[OOOOOO] (armor)
[oooo* ]

2 FC
4 Beam 1
1 Wave Gun (Forward Line)
