				 Re: Usefulness of the bigger mounts 
 The easiest way to calculate the best gun is to divide damage with tonnage. Example:
 500 dmg
 ------- =  4,1666...
 120 ton
 
 300 dmg
 ------- = 3,3333....
 90 ton
 
 Bigger ratio = better gun. Of course I haven't taken into account of how much weaker the beam gets when it fires longer. Therefore I design two kind of ships. First those, who fire far and make lots of damage in far at the first round. Secondly I make ships which make best damage at point blank range. Also I diidn't take into account of how much each weapon costs in resources. That is everyone to decide whether or not to count it.
