I dont' think it makes that much difference on small engines. I haven't
done the math, but I think going from a 3 hit average to a 2.5 doesn't make
that much difference. I'm guessing it will make more difference when trying
to beat a large war engine. I dont' have a problem with this. Of course,
it could be changed to be a single weapon system.

Maximum of 6 for fp-based weapons, though.
