Yes, very much so in my opinion, and this WILL factor very strongly 
in the hit resolution system.

Without going into too much detail at this stage, the number of hits 
will depend on how many multiples of the target's quality there are 
in the	final modified firepower total. Yes, it means players will 
have to do a little mental arithmetic (at least to the point of 
knowing their 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 times tables), but a very similar 
system is already used in SGII and most folks seem OK with that.
