This would let smaller weapons with good capaciters be more effective than larger weapons with worse capaciters. It would also allow for the big gun effect that civilians want. That is that a big gun is better than a rapid firing gun to them.
A 15cm laser does 6 points and with capaciter 6 would have a value of 21. A 15cm C3 fires every 10 seconds and would have a value of 12. A 30cm C5 would have a value of 24, while a 30cm C8 would be up to 36.
This would give higher tech weapons a balance factor which is not there presently and make it so that higher tech ships would have a better pacifing effect.
