The DUC has some major disadvantages, though. The requirement for ordnance is one. No other 'beam' requires ordnance, as far as I recall. Only missiles and torpedoes. For the sake of realism, it really ought to have an accuracy disadvantage, too. Slugs of metal (uranium or otherwise) are not going to travel as fast as particle beams or pure energy and so will be increasingly prone to miss at long ranges. I gave it this disavantage in my own minimal modding attempts. Instead I see it's about as good as the meson blaster in the Balance Mod. Since I'm not very good with math formulae "0 - ([%Range%] + ([%Range%] / 10))" is the best I can do for an 'asymptotic' curve.  Anyone got a better formula?

To be honest, the DUC has horrible accuracy as is in BM. It misses more than it hits for me, until I get combat sensors decent enough to offset it's accuracy, or lack of.
