Just to expand on this from a PSB view;
PDS are designed to shoot fighters and do appropriate damage to
disable/destroy them and hit lots of them at once.
Class-1 beams & Class-1 K-guns are designed to kill starships.	It
doesn't
matter how much damage they actually do, if a fighter is hit by one,
there's
not much left to recover (consider a K-1 round that hits is probably the
size of the fighter it hit...)
One advantage of Class-1 beams over Class-1 K-guns is that the beam gets
a
re-roll, while the K-gun doesn't.
