60,000-kW fusion reactor; 480 450,000-kWs rechargeable power cells. ...
54-MJ X-Ray Laser [Bod:F] (240 shots) +2. 1.44-MJ X-Ray Laser [Bod:F] (1,125 shots) +2. 1.44-MJ X-Ray Laser [Bod:B] (1,125 shots) +2. Looks like they start out with a goodly number of shots but will need to drop down to 1 per three minutes if they fire off more than a couple hundred shots.
