Community goal, Strange weapon

Evening all,
I logged in tonight and went for 'pew pew' at Quator.

Got in a scuffle with an Elite ranked Fer De Lance and it was blasting away at me with a deep blue Flat looking beam or , Pulse laser it was very hard to see.

Soon afterwards my shields dropped and my HUD ship icon was glowing Red in the middle and I was taking sever damage even when not being hit.

2 questions -
1 - Is this a normal weapon.
2 - Where can i buy one.

Before anyone replies, it was unusual not 'run of the mill' i.e. "It was a Plasma cannon with a increased range mod etc"
I'm going back out again to see if I can get a screen shot.
Regards
Pug

Thank you all for the replies, I had no time to do a hull burn really, i had maybe 20 seconds. Hard to tell if it was a triple burst, it might have been a medium rail hammer not sure as it was a very flat beam no distinctive sound as such. It was definitely not beams with any mod I have run them on all my ships.

No screen shot yet, still trying.

I'm seeing some strange weaponry lately. Enzyme missiles - are they even useful against regular ships?

I've been hit with something three times tonight that stops my distributor refilling for several seconds. First time I've seen that. EDIT: That's through shields!

That sounds like Scramble Spectrum. Enzyme missiles do do some corrosive damage, but is nowhere near as effective as thargoid goo missiles.

If your shields get hit the SYS cap starts draining to refill them... Do point defences drain cap too? I never noticed either way.

This happened to my WEP, I had three pips allocated when I noticed it was empty and not filling back up. It started to refill after about 5 seconds.

Nothing new, we have it since 3.3. Elite npc ships in cz's are using exclusive blue colored beam lasers with phasing sequence. Normally you can add phasing seq. to all lasers but not for beams.
Gnerally npcs in cz's are buffed and tough as hell. Their hull are maxed out and resistances oscillate ~60% against all types of damage.

I thought Scramble Spectrum too but I had shields up and I don't think they work through shields do they?

I love to hear an enzyme missile screaming past, completely missing the target. Green trails everywhere.

Yeh, if I have any Spec Ops on my side I like to assist with their targets.
Enzyme + corrosive on hulls is pretty fast.
