Sounds kinda arbitrary to me...
Anyway, to get to +4D using my progression method, the shooter would have to make sustained attacks for 16 rounds, then 32 rounds to get to +5D and so on and so forth. If the PC wants to keep pushing it, the GM has other options.

Well, that's... basically exactly what I'm doing. The only difference is in the specifics of the capital guns table and how the numbers ramp up.

I see that, just wanted to chime in as I've seen this work in practice. The doubling seems to work as well, although my version has been used for three characters working together with proton mining beams (with the total number of weapon/rounds being applied to the table). I presume the same would work in your concept?

Well, without taking a deep dive into how the numbers stack up, it seems to follow. Simply multiplying the number of characters coordinating across multiple rounds works just as well as a simple arithmetic progression.

When I wrote up my version of the Hammerhead Corvette from Rogue One, I sort of ad-libbed the rules for pushing / tugging larger objects, but it occurs to me that the sustained fire rules could also be applied here, applying tractive force over the course of multiple rounds (and potentially with the use of multiple craft). The bare bones version I'm considering is using the Ramming rules (pg. 110 of 2R&E), which is then stacked with the number of consecutive rounds of applied force. I still need to work on the conversion formulas, but the core principle is sound, IMO.
