30MW MINING LASER


"Pulse laser set up to blast asteroids into recoverable portions if you see your future in mining. Can be used as a weapon but its repeat rate is not as fast as weapon lasers."

SIZE: 10 TONNES
COST: 10800 CREDITS

Not much use for fighting pirates, as you only get one shot every second, but it does do considerably more damage than the other pulse lasers - one hit will usually destroy a fighter craft. Howevfer, it is useful for assassination missions, as the enemy craft are generally large enough to hit with the Mining Laser, and so they will die a lot quicker than with normal weapons. The 30MW Mining Laser can also be used for asteroid mining, but there is very little money to be made like this.
