When playing the old 2.4 release, researching "Continuous Wave Laser Operation" unlocks the laser man-portable weapons, the laser base defense weapon and the laser craft weapon - 6 things total, I believe.
In my new game in 2.5_dev, however, only the craft weapon and base defense weapon research projects were unlocked. I never got the man-portable weapons. There were no research items for them, and they don't show up in my production menu, either. Considering how far into the game I am, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have them by now.
Could someone also list the requirements for the laser weapons for me? I guess I could be missing something obscure, like needing the Bloodspider autopsy to research monomolecular knives, but I don't really think so.
