The Orbital power beam targeter is a powerful single-use weapon added in Beta 18.

It requires manual targeting, and has an activation time. Once activated, a massive beam will shoot down from above, dealing massive damage and starting fires.

It has a targeting range of 45 tiles.

For some reason, like all ranged weapons it can't be used when the user is wearing a shield belt.

Usage

It is extremely useful against crashed ship parts, as the beam can vaporize the ship part and down its surrounding mechanoids with a single use.
