FT-Close range combat

Just a question to the others out there on the list. How often have your
games had a chance of the ships being within 3 mu of your opponents at
any
point in the game? I`m asking this, because after reading the latest HH
novel, I had a idea that energy weapons could have their dammage
increased
beyond the normal increased number of die as the range drops for realy
close
combat. My idea was that within 2 mu (for example) you roll the die as
normal, but the dammage is doubled for each dammage point (4,5,=2 dp,
6=4 +
reroll). Just a rough idea to increase the leathalaty of energy weapons
in
close combat (which hardly ever occures in my games, I think within 2 mu
only happened twice) just like in the HH novels.
