There is something wrong with the shield indicator if the shields do not go down when hammered with a Fusion Laser.From post: 114420, Topic: tid=7952, author=DaveK wrote:I don't think that it actually does it but the beam is supposed to take down the shields and then you switch to particles to take out the ship!

You can fire the beam alone all day and it will not take out an enemy ship, but you can fire the cannon alone and destroy the target.
I'm just not sure the beam weapon is really doing anything.
