You can use Particle Beams in the tertiary battery for that (5) armor divisor. Keep the UV Laser in the main battery for the range though.

If you're really worried about those drones add a tertiary battery of missiles too. They'll kill drones easily.

Mostly I agree with Agamemos. Range kills in normal space/hard science combat.
