		+	The Bombast Laser is adjusted damage weapon.  When a pilot choose to set the weapon to fire from minimum of 7 damage to maximum of 12.  The weapon damage can be set inflict any damage within the 7-12 range.  However, this requires to have the player to additional modifier beyond 7 by doing following equation.  Example if firing weapon at maximum damage of 12; a player will suffer a +3 modifier. (12 Damage - 7 (base damage) = 5, 5/2 = 2.5, round up to 3.

		+	Heat of firing is same as damage being inflicted.  Firing at maximum 12 damage, gives the player's 12 heat.
