Sanshas Radio XL

Extra Large Frequency Crystal. Can be used only by starbase defense batteries and capital ships like dreadnoughts.

Modulates the beam of a laser weapon into the radio frequencies. Offers greatly improved range but significantly lower damage.

With longer range, EM damage increases although the overall damage output is decreased.

The delicate crystalline structures used in the manufacture of this advanced crystal degrade with use, eventually causing it to shatter.

60% increased optimal range.
15% reduced capacitor need.
