Only 2 weapon types?

I see only 2 weapon type in PA
1.missiles (the missile behavior is quite strange, it suddenly a angle turn)
2.bullets

Why no laser type weapon in PA? How many weapon types will be in PA?
Thanks

They're there. Just keep looking.

As of right now there are:

• Bullets/shells: almost everthing
• Lasers: turrets, orbital fighters, orbital lasers
• Missiles : any anti-air, catapults
• Comander's plasma/uber canon
• Nukes
• Self Destructing Commander
• Reclaiming with Fabber

Weapons that have been stated would be added:

• Bombs with real trajectory physics from bombers

Considering how few units we have so far(and what units they are), it's not hard to understand why we are still limited in weapon types, in time as we get more units we'll naturally get more weapon type as well.

Are laser beams off the table? I heard that @neutrino (I think) stated they are a pain in the *** to get working, so might not be a good pay off for the dev time involved.

Specifically;

From here.

Of course, nothing is really said either way, Neutrino just presented a fact, from over a year ago no less. I don't think Uber will skip out on Beams forever, might not be until after release but it'll make it in somehow.

Orbital laser could probably get turned into a beam weapon, and would be alot cooler for it.

At the moment lazers are only in short bursts but beams would be cool for things like the orbital lazer. Seeing a huge beam come down from the atmosphere and destroying an enemy base would be really cool! I really hope they aren't off the table but if they can implement other cool stuff using that Dev time I would be fine with it.
