These technologies cause laser turrets, personal laser defenses and distractors to shoot more often, assuming they can collect energy quickly enough.

• For laser turrets one shot costs a constant 800kJ; as the turrets shoot faster, they will require more power to operate effectively. Thus, the research raises their power consumption from 1.2MW (no upgrades) to 3.8MW (all upgrades).
• For personal laser defense one shot costs a constant 50kJ; as the laser defenses shoot faster, they will require more power to operate effectively. Thus, the research raises their power consumption from 75kW (no upgrades) to 240kW (all upgrades).
