RE: [FT] Should all Beams fire at fighters/ordinance?

Or it could be another beam emitter connected to the beam source. The
initial 4 mass is 3 mass for the beam source and 1 for the beam emitter
(but
only shows as 1 icon as the whole system goes down if any part of it is
damaged).

For Class-2 Beams, the source is 1 mass and each emitter is .33 mass. 

For Class-1 Beams, the source is .4 mass and each emitter is .10 mass.

Phalon Pulsars are similar. They have a 1.5 mass source and each emitter
is
.5 mass.

!Notice: The above is pure PSB!
