SaltyWaffles: Having a short beam lifetime is not a bad thing at all. It's a good thing, at least as far as direct-fire beams go. Shorter bream-lifetime = faster sustained DPS with the same burst damage(quicker)

==Description==
===Blue Planet Tech Room Description===
The Thorn Lance light beam system, mounted on Hyperion cruisers as their primary direct-fire weapons system, is the weakest of the next-generation beam systems. Nonetheless, it offers marked improvement in firepower over previous light beams, and its draw on the cruiser's systems overall is low. Cool-running, easy to maintain, and reasonably powerful, the Thorn Lance suffers only in that it is mounted on a fragile vessel.
