LR PD Laser
General Information
Mount Small, Energy Primary Role Point Defense Ordnance points 4 DPS 50 Damage type Energy (Beam) Range 800 Flux/sec 30 Accuracy Perfect Turn rate Excellent

	Medium range energy weapon, effective at neutralizing missile and fighter threats. Can be fired for extended periods, but the damage is subpar. An additional lens assembly eliminates self-diffusing particles from a standard carbon dioxide beam fired at a wavelength of eleven microns. The extended range permits the otherwise low wattage to have a greater impact on the targets. Particularly useful in destroying missiles headed for a shielded target - a standard point defense laser generally doesn't have the range to extend far enough past the defensive shields of the ship it is supposed to protect.
–In-Game Description

The LR PD Laser is a small point defense beam weapon. Compared to the PD Laser, it has twice the range (particularly useful against Salamander MRMs), and a lower flux cost, but two-thirds the DPS.
