Beam Weapons:

Currently, a typical beam weapon will fire four times in rather rapid succession before being able to fire that beam array again. This setup is fine…

However!

I would really rather enjoy the options of being able to either choose between firing four times in rapid succession or being able to equipped longer duration firing beam weapons.

With the first option, I don’t want more DPS or anything like that, leave the weapon statistics alone. Just increase the cool down between being able to fire the longer burst to match the current DPS rate. I think having this option would go over well with the player base; especially those who Captain large cruisers and the like equipped with multiple beam arrays.

With the second option, a new variation of the same old beam weapons array, you could increase the DPS but also increase the power drain. It would also be neat because players could mix the rapid firing arrays with the longer lasting arrays.
