Overview
========

This OXP brings you the Thargoid Ray Laser, the Thargoid Cannon and the Thargoid Plasma Accelerator.

- Thargoid Ray Laser: A captured Thargoid Weapon, Slightly modified by GalCop. More damage but no self-aiming anymore.
- Thargoid Cannon: An energy cannon based on a Thargoid Ray Laser.
- Thargoid Plasma Accelerator: As seen in the Mutabilis and Incursio novels. It can be fired once every 8 seconds.

It is suggested not to fire the Thargoid Plasma Accelerator until the Laser Temperature Bar has cooled all the way back down again, 
because otherwise it'll take twice as much time to cool. 


Availability
============

All weapons can be bought at tech level 14+ locations. Additional in anarchies, feudals and multi-gov systems or at independent and 
sleazy places with a minimum of a tech level 7 they are sometimes offered as well.

Thargoid Ray Laser: C 1,100.00
Thargoid Cannon: C 5,000.00
Thargoid Plasma Accelerator: C 10,000.00

Please note that this are the standard prices and might be different at some stations. 
Cannon and Accelerator only fit in larger ships like a Cobra Mark III (minimum 200 t).
