It is a lot higher than a regular laser, in addition when I checked out the entire range of advanced lasers I noticed a problem. In the past an advance laser did about 25% more damage for it's size without any extra power requirements. For example a 12cm advanced laser did 6 points damage but only required 4 points of power to recharge. This is no longer true. The 10cm Advanced laser shows as a 4 cm laser with damage 0, range 0, and 1 hull space size. I think something may have slipped into the database. The current lineup is 4cm, 5cm, 8cm, 12cm lasers on the design screen with damage starting at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 10 respectively. They all need the same amount of power as their damage output. The actual sizes on the pulldown menu do not match these however. There they go the standard 10cm, 12cm, 15cm, 20cm etc. On the high end this pattern is reversed with the 80cm advanced laser saying it is a 210cm laser. I did this double check with a fresh database just to make sure that there wasn't any problems with something I had done previously. Also all of the above data was without using any spinal beam modifiers. I will be putting a bug report in for this.
