would you rather have a beam weapon being energy efficient.

you can fir all you bean weapon on your ship all at once, wait for the 1sec cooldown and then fire all of them again.

that is 8 beam weapon is that is what's your fancy.

it would make beam too op, the current system of...

cannon= 1 sec 1 shot for a long long time.
beam = fire all 8 beam and wait a few seconds. seem quite balanced.
