I think it is very likely that focus can be added.  I am thinking of going for arrestor beam 2, as the mass is just a little less than tachyon 2, then I can put it on the bridge with focus 5 and still have 2 x cap 3 and meta 3.  The base range of 7000m + focus 5 will be awesome, and with it being on bridge I will only need 1.

I can just picture rearends line of revs trying to get through a gap in my mines, and getting completely derailed when the front one stops in its tracks lol.

Rebels,
Last night, KIXEYE.com, VEGA Conflict in particular, was subjected to a DDoS attack that created connectivity issues and crashes for all players between the hours of 7pm and 11pm PDT. A DDoS attack is, essentially, a flood of requests from bots on a website's servers that make intended services unavailable (more info here). The connection issues players experienced were not the fault of KIXEYE or Unity, but were rather the result of a coordinated effort by an individual to bring down our services. It's not a very nice thing to do, but we know who did it and we've alerted the authorities. DDoS attacks certainly sound a little scary, but don't worry. None of your personal data was affected and everything is back up now.
It's truly unfortunate that this would happen during a much-anticipated event (with some pretty badass prizes), so we've decided to extend the event by 24hrs. The new event end date will be August 12th at 3pm PDT. The event shop will close August 13th at 3pm PDT.
Additionally, we know that lots of players lost fleets due to disconnections. We can't guarantee that another DDoS attack won't happen during the event, but we can help out. Towards the conclusion of the event, we will give everyone who logged in on August 7th, 2014 PDT a small gift of gold to help in those final hours. More details to follow.
DDoS attacks aren't fun for anyone - especially for your Community Manager who had to leave halfway through Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3D only to have the ending spoiled by his friends as they left the theater. Don't worry guys. I'll get through this.
In all seriousness, thank you very much for you patience and we all appreciate how understanding you've been.
