Zidagar Phased Beams

This is just a query about the Zidagar phased beams in 1.0.2 because I currently have EVO 1.0.1. Was there any change to the way phased beams are handled in 1.0.2. In 1.0.1 they were considered a secondary weapon which took up a turret/gun spot, non removable and used a portion of you fuel to fire. Is this the same in 1.0.2?

As far as I can recall, yes.

It's the same in 1.0.2, and remember pilots are incompatible between the two updates.

Question: Is there any circumstance in which a Phased Beam does any good? Or even a little bit of good?

That would be the circumstance in which you haven't yet run out of fuel.

I think the phase beam also has a secondary function to the weapon, even though it drains fuel like eating popcorn, is that it recharges your fuel but only so little that you barely notice the difference. I could be wrong.
