I'd hesitate to use modular abilities. An alternate attack method is probably more feasible. But in the end the test is if it does the things you want it to (burn through, stun, kill) and doesn't do the things you don't want it to.

I think diverging from the ultra-tech weapons progression is a feature in this case. "lasers" are distinctly not star trek.
