As the name suggests, the Extended-Range variant of the [[Medium Laser]] improves the focusing system of the laser to project it to much farther ranges. The optics are less efficient, though, necessitating more input power for the same armor ablation and thus more waste heat in the weapon.

Description

The Extended-Range Medium Laser (ER Medium Laser) focuses a powerful beam of light on targets that causes damage by melting or shattering armor off of the target.[1]

As the name suggests, the Extended-Range variant of the Medium Laser improves the focusing system of the laser to project it to much farther ranges. The optics are less efficient, though, necessitating more input power for the same armor ablation and thus more waste heat in the weapon.

As with most Clan energy weapons, the Clans lack their own standard Medium Laser.

Manufacturing

The Extended-Range Medium Laser is manufactured on the following planets:
