Long Description The biggest problem we've faced with weaponizing plasma is that plasma is a phase of matter and not energy. Making plasma behave like an energy stream requires immense amounts of power to manage. That power takes up a great deal of space. The new generation of plasma weapons aren't any more lethal, but they do take up less space, which in turn allows us to put more on our ships.
