-  also the beam split is wider than before
+perfect diamagnetism now has a 1/12 of a second cooldown after blocking (1/2 other fields)
+perfect diamagnetism can get bremsstrahlung now
 
-needle move twice as fast (was 50, now is 100)
-  and they are 50% longer and 25% thinner
-  damage was improved about 20%
-  delay between each needle in a volley is slightly longer
