The gun was successfully tested in real battle against an outcast destroyer. The target was neutralized with a good remaining amount of nanobots on our vessel.

Further testing was conducted in virtual simulation against a recreated model of a heavy cruiser "Vidar". It showed that only one new gun makes barely enough sufficient firepower to face it in close combat.

I was slightly hesitant in creating and installing the second gun due to reason, having Light Mortar, which gives additional flexibility in a combat situation and allows us to shoot small targets when the timing is right. But hearing advice from experienced Archer captain, he proved me wrong by reminding, that we already have a siege gun against bigger targets for long-range battles, while new plasma gun will make me efficient against enemy cruisers.

As for my worries to blast smaller targets, he recommended trying to use a sequencing firing, which considering their characteristics should be enough for good hit-ratio.

taking into consideration all the gathered data, I will finish equipping my cruiser with a doubled amount of prototypes, which opens a new possibility for me. Since their power consumption is enough to use more power than it's generated by the vessel's power core, I can use secondary weapon slots to install pulse guns to deal better long-range damage against shields in preparation for enemy vessels to be shredded by siege gun from afar or by plasma-based weaponry.
