	'''ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam''' is beam used in ~~the~~ [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]] to ~~defend capital ships~~ against fighters. It is the ~~most powerful of all~~ the anti-~~fighter~~ beams.		The '''ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam''' is a beam weapon used by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]] in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]]. The primary purpose of the ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam is to protect the ship it is mounted on against attacks from smaller vessels such as fighters and bombers. It is also capable of intercepting incoming bombs in addition to ships. Against smaller objects, the ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam discharges three beams per pulse. The ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam can also target larger warships—it will fire a single, continuous pulse—although the damage dealt is much less compared to dedicated anti-warship beams such as the [[BGreen]].

	Unlike other beam weapons, this appears to be the only one that does not need to recharge in between shots.

	Another thing worth noting about the ULTRA, apart from having almost no recharge delay on all difficulty levels, is that it has more than twice the effective range of any other AAA in the game. While the [[AAAf]], [[AAAh]] and [[SAAA]] all have a range of 1500 meters, this one can comfortably hit any enemy, including warheads, 3000 meters from it and still pose a threat up to a further 1000 meters away.
