[edit]
Maser Pod
Similar to the Laser Pod in design and concept, this system packs far more punch per beam, providing devastating fighter defense, and a total firepower that even medium sized ships will turn their heads at. The increased power has required a dedicated cooling system built into the pod itself, circulating coolant to its own heat sink on the back. Although this is a design weakness that the Laser Pod did not have, most ships armed with multiple pods can use the arcs to ensure that nothing ever gets to the right angle to exploit it.
