i like it for the EMP, and it's energy type so it receives the overcharge bonus as well, unlike the graviton beam, being the other beam type midsize-energy weapons.

It's kinda like the graviton beam but different, it takes more energy to fire but it also does more damage overall.

It used to be pretty useless due to its range, which just got a big upgrade.

I'm not sure about the EMP damage.

The Phase Beam is an amazing fighter-swatter, actually.  It'll disable anything without a shield in a couple seconds.

Most importantly, the Phase Beam is purple.

i gotta say 3 phase beams mounted on an eagle is kinda scary :D outfitted with really sturdy shield mods its funny when it comes up against a fighter squad the 3 beams will often focus on different ships in the wing and then a few seconds later either the whole wing is dead or has 1 fighter left :D

the great part is with the sturdy shields you can literally fly straight into a large group of fighters or bombers, kill all of them often without even overloading or getting close to that point, then move onto the slower and bigger ships and even then the phase beams dole out massive damage.

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.

Dear Admiral Alex

Me and my friends in this thread would really appreciate making a small slot version of the Phase Beam.
