Information:

Capital ships are especially vulnerable to concentrated attacks by incoming fighters. For this reason, laser turret guns were mounted to provided point-defense for particular ship surfaces. Modern Terran and Kilrathi destroyers, cruisers, carriers and bases are quipped with heavy, turreted lasers linked to advanced targeting systems. Only the most maneuverable ships have any chance of surviving concentrated fire from these formidable weapons.

The capital-ship version of the laser can hit a fighter with twice the normal damage (two regular lasers are mounted on each turret), and the quick refire rate is more than twice that of regular lasers.
