+ | Warships utilize a number of very powerful laser cannons that can fire across exceptionally large distances and still maintain a high level of accuracy.

(A typical laser cannon can be fired, for example, at a 30 degree angle). |

+ | Due to powerful electromagnetic-interference (as a result of bothe ECM and natural stellar phenomenae) it is very difficult, and often impossible, to "lock on" to an enemy ship with computer targetting, forcing these laser cannons to be aimed and fired manually.
