Because it needs a special mounting point with a 360 degree field of view, not all ships are capable of being equipped with a turret."

description "The development of the Beam Laser in the mid-2400s not only led to advancements in space warfare, but also to the field of asteroid mining, as the traditional but inefficient method of towing asteroids to bases for extraction was supplanted by individual spacecraft that could precisely extract the ore from asteroids themselves."
