Mining Lasers

Small mining lasers really need to a look.

Currently, they're the only weapon in the game that doesn't follow the standard power forumula of being 75% the effectiveness of the next size up: they are very, very underpowered compared to medium mining lasers. (don't forget Torval's mining lasers either).

I assume it's coming, would it would be nice to see some mining laser engineers as well - long range mods, efficient mods, overcharged mods, and mods that enable them to do better damage as weapons would all be very welcome (shouldn't mining lasers have awesome armor penetration?). On the flip side, it might be pretty cool to have a special effect on other weapons that let them function as mining lasers.
 
The fact that class 1 mining lasers are so pathetic is one of the things that puts new players completely off mining. Ships like the Type 6 and Type 7 should be good mining ships, but with on ly small lasers they are pretty useless, especially given the high power and distributor drains from these lasers.

Class 3 & 4 mining lasers would be nice as well. An Anaconda would be great with a class-4 mining laser.
