If anybody ever played Freespace 2, they'd know how epic the beam weapons were on the larger ships :D
It would basically be a weapon block that would require quite some grouping before becoming really effective (encouraging to use it on the larger ships).
It should have a high damage output, but also high power drain, and pretty slow recharge rate, maybe slightly faster than missiles or just as low.
The weapon would fire a beam that would move from a randomly chosen starting point to an end-point, creating a line (giving it the cool "cutting" effect).
Not sure if it should have a color, because the other weapons don't have any colors yet either, so it could simply be a straight and wide white beam for the moment.

0:20 (and later) of that video shows some beam weapons being fired in Freespace 2.
