Actual, there is only one beam weapon: Phased Polaron Beams (PPBs). These weapons are better than every other beam weapon except a (very) few racial-tech weapons. Research Physics twice and then Phased weapons. Ta-da, you now have the best beam weapon in the game. You should be able to get these by turn 25 or so with most game settings. Enjoy.
