WEPON!
Single blast beam weapon, loosely based on the Obelisk of Light's beam. This is version 2. Version one toasted a Hecate in 3 blasts. Again, advisable to mount only on destroyers.
;---------------------------------------------------------------
; Single blast beam weapon, takes longer to charge up than normal weapons.
