Mining Laser
Mining Lasers are required to mine Asteroids for Ore, which must be collected via Logistics Drones. They drain power on every shot.

A Mining Laser is placed into the Hull of a Ship and is 3 x 2, with a 6 x 3 area of unobstructed space required, giving a total size of 8 x 3.
It has a range of 200m. When charging a shot it consumes 100MW of power for 2.25 seconds. It takes 1.25 seconds to fire and consumes 10MW while firing. It uses an average of 68MW while mining and fires every 3.5 seconds.
It yields 1 ore per shot from a deposit that can be picked up by Logistics Drones. With research this can be increased up to 3.
