Oh no, there's more than 1 laser in the book.

Look at p.28 of Spaceships. There are regular lasers, UV alsers X-ray Lasers and Grasers as wel as Improved and high or very high ROF versions of all of these. These are mixed up with TL changes too.

The way you handle thsi is to not let the PCs have the top of the line gear to begin with. Sure the Imperial Navy is full TL11^ but PCs looking for an armed ship on the frontier will be lucky to get TL10 stuff. This leaves them someplace to advance to as they get lots of money and good connections.
