Laser

Laser is a long-range anti-fighter turret.

Properties
Laser fires a single laser to the nearest enemy. Laser can instantly kill all blank fighters except for Spectre.

Strategies

 * Lasers and Quad Micromissiles with Range upgrades can turn them into cheap artillery.
 * Laser can actually be better than Quad Micromissiles in select situations, such as fighter swarms, Area Shield defenses, or as a Phalanx counter. However, it deals very little damage to larger ships, and does not benefit from Munitions.
 * Two Beam Doctrines and a Heatsink will allow Laser to fire once every frame - the maximum rate of fire in the game.
 * Lasers can be coupled with Lasercannons for both anti-fighter and anti-capital defense.
