{{quote|Continuous-fire laser weapon...|In-Game Description}}
The '''Beam Laser''' is an energy weapon that continuously emits a high-intensity laser beam for as long as it is fired or until it depletes its available energy capacitors. Beam Lasers are the most powerful of the three basic laser weapons, but also consume the most power, generate the most [[heat]], and have the highest cost.


[[File:Beamlaser ja02 copy.JPG|thumb|200px|Medium beam laser, official art]]
== Usage ==
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.


'''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.
A variant of the Beam Laser, the [[Retributor]], is available as a [[Powerplay]] loyalty reward.

Another variant is the [[Retributor|Retributor Beam Laser]].
It deals thermic damage at a [[Damage Falloff|Falloff Range]] of 600m and a maximum range of 3000m for every Beam Laser.
