Wow, forgot that that resource existed!

Looks like a typo error to me! Should have been moved to being
symmetrical. Two FCs were to reflect redundancy in targetting
capabilities, so if one were knocked out...the ship could still fire.
Of course, it only has the one battery, so if *that* were knocked
out...well, not all designs were optimum, now were they? *grin*

Of course, playing it with the assymmetrical beam would just add to
the non-optimized design, wouldn't it? *double-grin*
