"Long range high damage spinal beam weapon"
Another unique weapon for Terrans, Proton Beams apply sustained damage on enemies at a distance. If the player's ships can aim their Proton Beams well, enemies will have difficulty avoiding damage. without good evasive capabilities. Proton Beams destroy incoming launched projectiles from enemies too, reducing damage to friendly ships. However, these beams destroy shields with difficulty if they're not concentrated enough. Since they lack burst damage, ships must maintain their beams on enemies and not constantly switch between targets to remain effective.
