They wouldn't have been quite so much so if you had used the actual 
FB1 rules for them instead of the MT rules...

You're using pre-FB1 systems again. The FT2 PDAF could not damage 
ships; the FB1 PDS OTOH *can* do so. Not as well as a beam battery, 
but still...

Using house rules is fine, of course - but please be aware that you 
*are* using house rules. Stating things like "the reality is that 
system X works like THIS" when you are in fact talking about your 
group's house rules easily leads to misunderstandings, since that 
"reality" doesn't apply to anyone using other rules (like eg. the 
published ones).

That's interesting, for the only SM modification I've seen described 
by more than one group is to allow PD overkills to count against the 
next incoming salvo instead of being wasted - but that makes the SMs 
*weaker*, not stronger... What modification are you thinking of here, 
that makes the *SMs* stronger?
