Laser info : Prototype Starburst Shockwave Cannon (Albion Prelude)

A deadly weapon found on frigates, destroyers and carriers. Commonly used by United Space Command capital ships, the Starburst Shockwave Cannon is an advanced, energy-based version of the rather basic flak weapons used by other races. A projectile is fired outwards and once it reaches its maximum range, it activates and sends powerful energy waves outwards, damaging any nearby ships.
