Beam Laser
The Beam Laser is a high-damage thermic-based weapon. Its laser beam causes immediate damage to any vessel it collides with, especially at effective range. Known for their high power consumption, beam lasers belong to the most damaging weapons in the game.
Beam lasers can be fired continously for as long as the ship can readily provide them with stored weapon power.
