BeamShip

BeamShips can target a single enemy StarShip from a long distance away, determined by the BeamShip's "Beam Range" rating.  The targeted StarShip is destroyed by the BeamShip's attack.  The disadvantage of the BeamShip is that it must manually target a new StarShip once its previous target is destroyed.  Also, when the BeamShip fires, any current movement orders are cleared.
