'''Beam Lasers''' are high-damage thermic-based [[weapons]] that operate on energy. Once fired, a pinpoint 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.


Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available or until weapon overheating sets in.
Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available.


Infamous for their high power consumption, beam lasers belong to the most damaging [[weapons]] in the game. With their pinpoint accuracy and high penetration at close range, they are also highly effective for targeting specific subsystems of enemy [[ships]].
Beam Lasers are known for their high DPS compared to other lasers, at the cost of [[Heat|thermal waste]] and [[Power Distributor|distributor]] draw.

Another variant is the [[Retributor|Retributor Beam Laser]].
Damage Falloff Range is 600m and maximum range is 3000m for every Beam Laser.

''Note: Because the Beam is continuous and can therefore not have a fire rate, the Damage is measured in DPS, which means their values are the same.''
