Commentary
A beam weapon used by Lasertowers and a few Argon, Pirate and Yaki ships. The Plasma Beam Cannon is a long range weapon with a near instantaneous impact that deals high damage making it a weapon of choice against fighters, bombers, corvettes and missiles. Despite the fantastic projectile speed this weapon often misses against small ships because it aims in an erratic pattern around the target point meaning that it does not always deal its full damage potential. Against capital ships Photon Pulse Cannons and Point Singularity Projectors are preferable due to their superior range. As player owned deploying Lasertowers can be collected again by the player ship and redeployed with a new PBC it is possible to obtain an infinite supply of this laser using only a single Lasertower. The value of this laser is also worth more than the Lasertower it is obtained from allowing them to be exploited for early credits.
