'''Laser weapons damage (research)''' affects the damage of laser weapons, [[distractor capsule]]s, and (except with the [[Space Age]] mod enabled) [[destroyer capsule]]s. With Space Age, {{SA}}[[Electric weapons damage (research)]] increases destroyer capsule damage instead.

== Thresholds ==
The table below shows for each level of the laser weapons damage research how many (normal [[quality]]{{SA}}) [[Laser turret|laser turret]] activations are required to destroy a small (S) or medium (M) [[Asteroids|asteroid]]{{SA}} on a [[space platform]]. Medium asteroids have 90% laser resistance and cannot be destroyed in a single activation at any research level; at research level 12, 20 or more laser turrets provide sufficient combined fire rate to clear medium asteroids at normal platform travel speeds. Big and huge asteroids (95–99% laser resistance) are not practical laser turret targets and are excluded. The table is shown up to level 20; medium asteroids continue to require multiple activations beyond this point.
<!-- Formula: activations_required = ceil( asteroid_hp / effective_damage ) effective_damage = laser_base_damage * lw_mult * (1 - laser_resistance) Laser turret base damage: 20. No overkill factor (rocket turrets only). Small asteroid: hp=100, laser resistance=20%. Medium asteroid: hp=400, laser resistance=90%. -->

Thresholds

The table below shows for each level of the laser weapons damage research how many (normal quality) laser turret activations are required to destroy a small (S) or medium (M) asteroid on a space platform. Medium asteroids have 90% laser resistance and cannot be destroyed in a single activation at any research level; at research level 12, 20 or more laser turrets provide sufficient combined fire rate to clear medium asteroids at normal platform travel speeds. Big and huge asteroids (95–99% laser resistance) are not practical laser turret targets and are excluded. The table is shown up to level 20; medium asteroids continue to require multiple activations beyond this point.
