Just so. Beam spreading is an unwanted side effect, not a fast route to increased damage.

Also, the way Spaceships scales beam damage (cube root of beam energy) means it must be generating wider holes at higher beam energies.

Right, so be careful about applying a "hole width" multiplier to a base damage that already reflects hole width.
