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.
