	The Beam Laser inflicts thermal damage, making it very effective against shields and less effective against armour. Its maximum range is 3000m, but [[Damage Falloff]] begins after just 600m. Beam Lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available to feed them and siphon away the weapon's heat into the ship's cooling system. They are known for their high DPS compared to other lasers, at the cost of [[Heat\|thermal waste]] and [[Power Distributor\|distributor]] draw.

	Damage type is thermic, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. Armour piercing capability is rather low, making them less effective against hulls - but not ineffective.

	It should be noted that if that continuous fire cannot be maintained in combat from a beam laser mounted in a hardpoint, and pilots still wish to use a laser weapon in that hardpoint, they could consider trying the [[Pulse Laser]] or [[Burst Laser]] as an alternative: either firing constantly could result in more DPS than firing a beam laser intermittently. Putting more pips to weapons [WEP] in the ship's [[Power Distributor]] will also improve the time beam lasers can be fired, at the cost of weakening speed/maneuverability or shields. The [[Efficient Weapon]] modification can also allow for more sustained fire.

Beam lasers are known for their high DPS compared to other lasers, at the cost of [[Heat\|thermal waste]] and [[Power Distributor\|distributor]] draw.

	Damage type is thermic, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. Armour piercing capability is rather low, making them less effective against hulls - but not ineffective. These traits are common to almost all laser weapons.		Damage type is thermic, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them.

	'''Beam Lasers''' are high-damage thermic- damage [[weapons]] that operate solely on energy. Once fired, a laser beam exits the weapon mount and causes immediate damage to any vessel surface it collides with, especially at effective range.		'''Beam Lasers''' are high-damage thermic- damage [[weapons]] that operate solely on energy. Once fired, a laser beam exits the weapon mount and causes immediate damage to any vessel surface it collides with, especially at effective range. Maximum range is 3000m, but [[Damage Falloff]] begins after just 600m.

	Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available.		Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available to feed them and siphon away the weapon's heat into the ship's cooling system.

Beam lasers are known for their high DPS compared to other lasers, at the cost of [[Heat\|thermal waste]] and [[Power Distributor\|distributor]] draw.

			Damage type is thermic, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. Armour piercing capability is rather low, making them less effective against hulls - but not ineffective. These traits are common to almost all laser weapons.

			It should be noted that if that continuous fire cannot be maintained in combat from a beam laser mounted in a hardpoint, and pilots still wish to use a laser weapon in that hardpoint, they could consider trying the [[Pulse Laser]] or [[Burst Laser]] as an alternative: either firing constantly could result in more DPS than firing a beam laser intermittently. Putting more pips to weapons [WEP] in the ship's [[Power Distributor]] will also improve the time beam lasers can be fired, at the cost of weakening speed/maneuverability or shields. The [[Efficient Weapon]] modification can also allow for more sustained fire.
