Laser craft weapons do not get a 1/3 Bonus for damage reduction.

I don't believe i ever stated laser defenses. At no point did i ever mean more then the one locked type, plasma.

Craft BEAM LASER is dependent.

My bad, sorry. Didn't check the code. Plasma Defense and Beam Laser are dependent. Beam laser probably needs a buff.

I'll second that buff, 14 per shot for a hvy slot is....something. Considering ufo armor doubly so.

Even the Hvy plasma craft weapon isn't in a top tier spot. It takes 4 minutes longer to fully unload then an obliterator cannon for only 25% greater maximum potential dmg, and suffers more from armor. 5% better accuracy and 5km longer range(for plasma) is not much of an edge when pilots and craft bonuses are considered.
