A brand new year: The year of the handle

[Zharkov]

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.

[Dioxine]

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.
