Engineers Beams vs OC and Rapid Fire Pulses

[Soulkiller]

Dear FD,

Can we expect a rebalance between these two weapons? Currently the OC and Rapid Fire Pulses completely dominate the Beam lasers in DPS, capacitor drain, power requirements and heat generation. There is absolutely zero reason for me to fit Beams.
Can we expect OC and maybe some other special modifications added for beams to be able to fulfill their role as: hard to fit, most DPS, big capacitor drain, big heat generation weapons?
Even after 2.2 engineers balance changes, Rapid Fire and OC Pulses will still outperform Beams in every single way.

Im looking forward for you to fix this big oversight.

PS: Make Beams Great again.
PPS: But seriously I havent used one in ages.

With the rebalance of weapons and engineer mods they're currently doing which includes brining OC down to a +45% max dps and rapid fire to +44% max dps, OC and Rapid fire pulses will not longer be able to top a beam laser in DPS, but they will still be dominant in DPE, power draw, and heat. They also mentioned they will consider giving beam lasers the OC mod, which would make them entirely dominant in short flyby duration dps.

If beams don't get OC though, that would mean that burst lasers, which are getting rebalanced to be the most most capacitor efficient laser, would take the job of being 100% better than beams when upgraded from pulse lasers (besides in power draw, because bursts have higher power requirements than beams since they're giving beams 10% less power draw)
