Static Screen - Weapons - Heavy Laser (HLAS)
|
|
| The Heavy Laser is a well balanced beam weapon, although it still doesn't compare to the power of the bigger beam weapons. It's good as a substitute weapon when there isn't enough room to outfit larger weapons. Plus its projectile speed is extremely fast.

1* The numbers in parenthesis next to the damage indicators represent the amount of damage inflicted after phase has been factored in. Due to the complexity of the damage formulae, I have opted not to include the damage inflicted through phasing.
|
2* Firing a weapon before it has fully rearmed will result in reduced damage. However, contrary to popular belief the damage rate will NOT be affected at constant fire.
|
3* Any weapon with a blast radius has the potential to do more overall damage (shield, and armor damage) if the blast radius consumes more than one part. This explains why BCs, HBCs, and sometimes EMPs do phenomenal shield damage.
