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. | The Beam Laser inflicts thermal damage, making it very effective against shields and less effective against armour.
