Beam + Overdrive needs a MAJOR nerf

[Proxima_Centauri]

Damage beams with the overdrive effect are EXTREMELY overpowered at the moment. Having a single damage beam block and a single overdrive block slaved to it increases the damage of a single beam hit from 5 to 2500! Couple that with the fact that damage beams require almost no energy, you have a recipe for the most damaging weapon imaginable.

To give you some sort of an idea of how OP this is, a 200 mass ship with damage beams+cannons+overdrive can destroy 5 million (at the very least, probably more) shields INSTANTLY.

With damage pulse slave blocks, it is even worse. A single beam block plus a single damage pulse and overdrive block can deal more than 100k damage in a single shot.

Note: This is only a problem when there are many, many (100+) outputs with 1 beam block each (like in this pic)

Please fix this problem, as shields are quite useless until it is fixed. Plus this weapon is a griefer's
best friend.

*EDIT*
It seems that this problem happens whether the overdrive is on it or not.
The source of the problem, then, must be the high number of beam outputs.
