The standard medium laser cannon found in one form or another across the Captain's Choice starship lineup, the CC-L44 Binary Laser Cannon is in many ways a bog-standard laser weapon. Its one standout feature is its two firing modes, Dual-Fire and Twin-Fire, which can help give the cannon a small kick to its firepower based on the needs of the situation. In Dual-Fire model, both barrels of the L44 fire independently, doubling the effective fire rate of the weapon, while in Twin-Fire mode both barrels fire simultaneously, increasing the damage per shot. Of course, both modes have their drawbacks, as Dual-Fire decreases the damage per shot while Twin-Fire reduces the rate of fire, and neither mode is as powerful as a more specialized weapon system. Still, when facing down common hazards and petty pirates, the L44 from Captain's Choice gets the job done.
