If there are no screens, any weapon which ignores screens (K-guns,
P-torps, 
SubMunition Packs etc.) will automatically be overpriced compared to any

weapon which is degraded by screens (beams, pulsers etc.) since the 
screen-skipping ability is included in the weapon's points cost.

WRT ammo, keep in mind that most Full Thrust games last less than 10
turns 
- IME Cinematic games tend to have around 5 turns of shooting, and
Vector 
games seem to end even quicker. Eg., it is usually considered wasteful
to 
give a single SML more than 3 SM salvoes to fire, since it usually won't

get a chance to fire more salvoes than that.

1 beam die at long range, 2 beam dice at medium, 6 beam dice at close
