With the recent changes to Beam Overload, I'm told there is no point in using two copies of it for the purpose of having reduced Beam Overload up-time. That two will only let you have Beam Overload as often as one copy.
Last I checked, it still had the cooldown of 30 seconds, with a 15 second cooldown between two copies.
"I'm not big on telepaths myself. I'm not big on guns either. But if everyone else has them, I want to make sure I can get my hands on the biggest one I can."
As mentioned by others, the second copy will go on a 15 sec cool down. However, I stopped using two copies of it, and went with a lower rank of FAW to keep shields down, then follow up with Beam Overload to the hull. Also, if you use FAW, it will only put the BO on a 15 sec cool down also.

Has nothing to do with the recent changes either way, though.
What you can't do anymore is double-tap with two copies, ie have one BO fire then another copy fire a second or two after.
Time will only tell!
