Composite Ray
[ Special Weapon - Size:13, Attack:80 ]
When first installed, choose 1 permanent bonus to this weapon:
40 Defense, 40 Scan, OR 60 Cloak.
Requires Rank 50 or Greater. (Limit 4 per ship)
Costs 304 Dark Badges
If you ask me way to steep on the requirements for it
Especially when a Dominion Cannon - Mark III for example costs 128 red badges and gives nearly double the attack and a Decryption Quad-Frame costs 80 blue badges (Total 208) for something very similar.
Yes the npc shows up quite considerably but is by no means an easy kill
