Re: supremacy of bolts over beams ...
Bolts are the weapon type for the point defense cannons. At short range they are more accurate. If you make them long range they miss quite a bit. Bolts are not intercepted by Point Defense Cannons unless you mod to allow for bolt target. However I think by doing this then you would cause a fire issue everytime a bolt wep is fired even by you own ship. This is my experience with this.
Beams are meant to miss sometimes (reason for attack and defense ratings)
