'''Heat Capacity'''
*Adds another emergency heat dump canister to the weapon, increasing how much heat can be absorbed before an emergency dump is triggered.

'''Heat Sink''' 
*Increased heat sink capacity improves the cooling rate of the weapon while also increasing the time window for sustained fire.

'''Laser Overcharge''' 
*Overcharging the laser causes it to output more damage at the cost of generating more heat. Increases damage per pulse.
'''Increased Overcharge'''
*Replacing standard capacitors with high-speed, heavy duty models allows for a much lower delay between pulses without sacrificing reliability. Increases rate of fire.
