A beam laser is an energy weapon that causes immediate damage to any ship it intersects at effective range. Beam lasers "stay on" until the person firing it deactivates it. This means that a large amount of damage is inflicted on any ship that stays within its path. Also, it can be "swept" across an enemy doing damage to multiple parts of the shield or hull or it can be directed across multiple enemies. An advantage of the Beam Laser is that most ships have the capibility to fire a single one indefinantly, or at least for a extremely prolonged time. This allows a contionious stream of damage to ships shields, taking an anacondas down within a 30 second time frame. Potentialy 40-50 when mounted on smaller ships such as the Sidewinder and the Hauler.
