I actually didn't consider the guardian.. hm. Compute each of the beams separately for hit or miss? Thus it's likely to get in a few hits but maybe not full damage.
Even better may be to disregard the fighter hitroll for PD type weapons completely, lore explanation being that the PD circuitry can accurately target fighters. This would include the hull-mod upgrade.
It may be an appropriate balance move for beam weapons of all types vs fighters, not just the tach lance. Fighters generally fair very poorly w/out a shield vs high-tech fleets, and it's the beam weapons that are the "fighter-swatters" such as 2x grav medusas not IR or pulse lasers.
