Beams with ion damage won't work like you think they would: the ion damage will be dealt in every single frame, thus rendering your Shield Slicer basically useless, as there are already 2 other power efficient ion beams.

What would you think if I adjusted the cooldown for the Ion Beam to be 22, and 23 for the Plasma Beam? This would allow the Shield Slicer to get its larger beam out faster than the other two smaller beams, but still need the larger power investment.

Also, thanks for the feedback.

Added 3 additional weapons, and made a separate variant of the mod (Ion Storm(AB)1.2) that allows enemy ships to use the weapons.
