In the FT to Trek conversions I'm doing, I use Beam 2's as Phasers, and
Beam
3's to represent Disrupters.  Works out well, and gives each race a nice
individual flavor.  I hope to have them posted soon.

The biggest problem with SFB for miniatures is it plays too slowly. 
People
playing with mini's like to "push lead" around, and don't want to wait a
millennia to do it.  SFB would benefit by taking out the impulses, and
streamlining the turn phases somewhat.	I think moving one ship at a
time a
la Star Blazers Fleet Battles or Babylon 5 Wars may benefit the game. 
From
what I've been cobbling together, the SSD's, energy allocation, and all
of
that could be preserved quite nicely.  Its the impulses that need to go.
