Ok, the plasma cannons WILL NOT be able to fire charged blasts. XD
I was testing all this in Minecraft and decided to try different shot variants. Well, charging the shots actually caused the transport pipes for the Okuu Cannons to burst.
Looks like I have my balancing factor. :p

I would suggest the fallout series weaponry
Plasma: slow but powerful shots with heavy energy usage
Laser: Fast, but weak firing with low energy usage

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Actually, I was planning on adding lasers.
Lasers are good against smaller ships, but with the larger ones, it can take time for the lasers to put out enough heat to significantly damage their hull. They are better suited against fighters, and can fire in quick consecutive blasts, or as a continuous beam. Of course, beams take up more power, and if sustained for too long, they can heat up the laser turrets, potentially damaging them. The lasers can fire at various wavelengths, from red to purple.
As for the plasma cannons, I might just make them like the plasma weapons from Halo. Originally, they would have been like Samus's arm cannon, being able to be charged, but that has proven to be detrimental to the ship. :p

Not only that, when I charged the guns and fired, the blasts damaged the piping for the weapons, making it so that they didn't have a flow of ammo. XD
Anyways, the ship actually has two power cores, due to the ship's twin-sided design. The ship is kind of shaped like a pecan. :p
The ship has A LOT of weapons, making it little more than a "gun boat" with a house inside of it. It has pretty much a weapon for any situation. Of course, it would be a bad idea to have all these weapons firing at once. Too much energy consumption can actually cause the ship to lose power and shut off.
I still need to try and calculate how much energy would be needed for some of the weapon systems, as well as the energy shield, but I think things will be fine.

its ok to put some detail but remember to let imagination fuel the idea, not super detailed things.
and time to fall asleep, cya ^^

Ahh, but science-fiction is the art of taking your imagination and using it to push reality like an envelope, watching it bend as you do so. ;p
I don't know why, but I enjoy taking what is possible, what is or can be real, and testing its limits. I like to quantify what I imagine by basing it in reality, using numbers, then giving reasons why it could be possible. I'll admit, all the details can be a bit much, but for some reason, I actually find it fun to find and add all the details. :p

We're talking about s1 here. It will likely be a mixture of both. Mostly the latter,
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
