Your phrasing is confusing, since the first sentence says to use lasers, and the second seems to be saying 'using lasers would require more justification' (since the default techpath here is psychotronic).

I'm working on a post with some energy weapon write-ups. Depending on how long it takes, I may be breaking it up into several posts. A lot of the details on the 'Phaser' section are already done, but not enough to post it here, yet (because there are a lot of settings, and thus more details are needed).
