Sunbeam

== Description ==
The Wanderers do not devote much time to developing weapon technology, preferring to focus their attention on more constructive endeavors. However, the few weapons they have created are efficient and deadly.
== Information ==
Purchasing the Sunbeam requires a Wanderer Outfits License.
The Sunbeam is a Wanderer beam weapon. True to its description, it is a powerful weapon, though it is relatively large, and very expensive. In addition, its single and dual turreted versions do not become available until later in the Wanderer storyline.
Being a tier 2 weapon, the Sunbeam inflicts 53.3% more shield damage per ton than the next strongest human beam weapon, the Electron Beam, although it is noticeably ineffective against hull. However, it does have the bonus of a slightly longer range, along with the ability to inflict heat damage. The combination of high shield damage, low hull damage, and continuous fire, also makes it effective at disabling ships without destroying them. In effect, it acts as an upgraded Plasma Cannon.
The Sunbeam gun is available as soon as you meet the Wanderers after returning from Greenwater with the translator device from the Hai technologist named Eruk. The turrets are unlocked later, shortly after you defeat the Alpha Carrier "Giftbringer."
