If you're after the attack tables, 'energy weapons' (i.e. plasma and
fusion guns) use the beam weapons tables just like lasers, but can't
attack past short range. They get +2 DM to penetrate defenses though. So
when it comes to turret weapons beam lasers hit a lot, energy weapons
penetrate best, and pulse lasers do the best damage (but beam lasers and
fusion guns get the most criticals).

Of course a real warship wants them all, so they can spread incoming
damage around.
