Enemy lasers vs. mine

[Crowley]

Am I being delusional, or are the enemies capable of firing their lasers more rapidly than those on my poor Tarsus? It sure sounds like it!

Delusional is a strong word But they have the exact same lasers you do.

If your energy banks are depleted, the firing rate goes down as you have to wait for a little charge to build up before the next one fires, but beyond that, firing rate/strength/whatever is the same.

Maybe the computer is draining their power reserves so the lasers are firing in something like single fire. When the energy reserves get low, there isn't enough energy to fire all of the guns, so it fires whetever guns it can, then when the energy reserves recover enough, it fires the other guns. This makes the rate faster, but each blast is actually weaker because all of the guns aren't firing simultaneously.
