This is a problem with conventionally large caliber guns as well in the system. Using the cube of of caliber gives betterish results and is what Spaceships uses (though... guns in that system has it own issues). The rules for the weapons design system that will be in the VDS uses a scaling factor to account for this though sadly I don't know what the number is....sadly it might be years still before it sees the light of day =_=
