 Interestingly, lasers remain a favourite among space pirates and smaller raiding parties. For these groups, lasers provide a low-cost, reliable weapon to disable unarmed or lightly defended cargo ships, often targeting critical systems or sensor arrays to cripple a vessel without destroying it outright. Their relatively small volume and modest power requirements also suit the limited space and resources aboard pirate vessels. Interestingly, lasers remain a favourite among space pirates and smaller raiding parties.

 Tactically, lasers serve as excellent suppressive fire tools in close-range skirmishes, especially when combined with more powerful but slower weapons like kinetic cannons or torpedoes. Their ability to deliver consistent, accurate damage with minimal logistical footprint ensures they retain a niche, even as larger fleets rely on more devastating armaments. Tactically, lasers serve as excellent suppressive fire tools in close-range skirmishes, especially when combined with more powerful but slower weapons like kinetic cannons or torpedoes.
