Fluid powered beam weapon. The melta catalyzes and rapidly combusts fluid to generate high intensity, short range beam, scorching and melting anything that comes close into a slag.

Multi fuel. It can run off light oil, petroleum gas, or a special uranium enriched mix for maximum damage. Also supports napalm from Incendiaries or cubonium gas from Cubeine if you have them installed.

Ramping heat. As it keeps firing longer, damage keeps increasing, raching immense output (4x base) on full 2.5 second ramp up.

Hot knife through butter. Superheated beam always extends to max range and burns every enemy it crosses, dealing full damage. It also completely ignores any flat damage reduction from armor the targets have (percentage resistance still applies).

Stats. 360 degree rotation, 16 base range, deals 85% fire, 15% physical damage, 240 base DPS, scales with refined flammables research, as well as increased with ramp up and better fuels.

Compatibility. Space Age is optional. Intended to be used with other my mods, but feel free to use it regardless. Balance (especially space age progression) still pending.
