Default New tech idea - Launch Lasers

This isnt a new idea... but using photon pressure from installations based on moons or asteroids to launch interstellar craft is a very realistic concept. Popularized by Larry Niven in the Man Kzin wars.. that any reaction mass used for thrust was an equally powerful weapon.

Have it as unit which could be Constructed on moons or Asteroids.

Can be used as a defensive weapon against hostile ships.. say... does a one shot 50 damage hit once per turn to any ship you target.
