LaWS: Laser Weapon System (anti ICBM) for Destroyers

Description
Release version of the Destroyer LaWS Mod

The Laser Weapon System or LaWS can protect against high flying missiles with stunning accuracy.
Because of it being energy based it has shorter range and faster releod than the munition based systems.
It needs enormous amounts of power and because of that can only be used on nuclear powered ships.

Please support the mod by reporting any bugs to me via discord (TJS#0001) or email (timon.j.s@pm.me)

@TJS thats fine

This is a very good mod. It turns the destroyer into an invaluable coastal missile defense asset (which they are IRL, just not with lasers yet lol). Noticing some issues with build research and build time of destroyers freezing in the new update if you unlock that research before the game.

@Saides I had that idea as well when developing this mod. The reason I chose a sea based weapon was because this already is in testing in real live and I want to keep it as realistic as possible. I will make it a bit easier to research since I think that should help balance it.

Love this mod! Unfortunately when playing a ship is not always to hand
And your LaWS is right at the end of a research chain!
Is there any chance of you creating a mod like this one but that would give some land asset a similar laser but to dfefend Itself from planes For an example of the kind of unit that needs something The coastal defence vehicle is so weak & vulnerable
I understand this unit may not be yours to modify but maybe a variant on that unit with laser to kill planes? But it needs to be land based and easy to get unlocked early by research

@slamer466 Do you have any other mods installed that modify the destroyer? If so you have to uninstall those because they might be causing problems.

The mod seemingly is non functional. I have both required techs researched but the weapon has not become available on any destroyers. I have checked new ones built after the techs are done as well as ones that had been around before completion.
