Tips
Marginal Over Rocket Launcher
The Light Laser costs 1.75× a Rocket Launcher but deals only 1.25× damage. The cost-efficiency is slightly worse but the higher shield helps against minimum-shield checks.
Better Alternatives Exist
For serious defence, invest in Gauss Cannons, Ion Cannons, and Plasma Turrets rather than massing Light Lasers.
