Not sure. 4 dice * 3.5 average result on 1d6 * 5 = 70 burn sur dDam.

Dunno. Are plasma weapons considered useful against ships equipped with a plasma mirror in the books? The above 1 GJ plasma cannon counts as 20 dice per shot.
The Military Courier (
pg 206) has a 300-dice plasma mirror (over 20 second turns).
(
pg 94) indicates that plasma weapons are being discarded in favor of the gravitic imploder lance.
