Beam Laser
The Beam Laser is a high-damage thermic-based weapon. Its pinpoint laser beam causes immediate damage to any vessel it collides with, especially at effective range.
Infamous for a 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 an enemy ship.
Beam lasers can be fired continously for as long as sufficient weapons power is available or until they overheat.
