Space Laser! (Semi-large images)

I've got a contribution.

You were worried about defense of the space laser right? Well, use a different model of the laser to defend the first one. It dosen't even need to be custructed with the same materials, so it could be a bit cheaper. Instead of the laser, perhaps some kind of short range weapon. I can't think of one, but I'm sure you could. In fact, three of them would be best, positioned in a triangular fashion above the laser, so no accidents when firing it.

A quick pic to show what I'm talking about.

Three of them works better than one because then an enemy can't hide on the other side of the laser opposite of the Def-turret.

EDIT: Acutaly, those defence turrets need to be dropped a bit lower. Probably about even with the laser. I forgot that it realy dosen't have to turn all that much to sight up a target.
