Focused Plasma is a technology on the Galactic Warfare technology tree with a research cost of 510 . It unlocks one Beam Weapon Module and one Shield Defense Module, requires research in Autonomous Construction, and allows further research in Plasma Cage.
"Hot, high-speed plasma beams are potentially devastating weapons. While they are difficult to use with the interference of a planetary atmosphere, in space they are quite effective."
Synchrotron Laser[]
Unlocks a Weapon Module
Effects depending on the chosen specialization:
- : 7-11
- : 75

- Critic Multiplier: x2
- Projectiles per Salvo: 3-36
- Round(s) before Reach: 0-3
- Round(s) to Reload: 0-3
- Accuracy: 70-120%
Requires : Anti-Matter
"A higher-energy form of the standard laser weapon, Synchrotron Lasers are widely available thanks to the creation of cheap and portable particle accelerators."
Active Mirroring[]
25MP Module Defense increases Point Defense Power by 1
- +2% Ship HP per Battle Phase per Support Module (Repair) on Ship
- +2% Ship Repair per Battle Phase per Support Module (Repair) on Ship
- 250 Defense
- +10% Hull Weakness on Ship
- 20
Requires : Anti-Matter
"By detecting the phase and frequency of particles, a system of active mirrors can negate much of the energy of incoming beam weapons."
