''' weapons are a distinct armament class in '.

Overview
Laser beams! The laser class of weapons is extremely powerful, does not arc, and hits where you want it, when you want it. It does have two main drawbacks: It requires a reactor module and energy storage (meaning more mass for the Island) and they are completely negated by shields.

Autolasers are a subclass within the class. They are a rapid firing, energy consuming hitscan weapon with a decent range. They sound pretty awesome to fire!
