Did I say Ion beam? That's probably what an electron disruption beam would be.

But no, I meant Plasma Beams.

I believe you did say ion. Could be edited.

Plasma is always a possibility. Guess that's mostly like a hot elzion beam. Should be more powerful and damaging verses un-shielded objects particularly. It does do extra damage to shields but not as much extra damage as the increased energy required.
