Ultra-Tech Ultra Quicky: Turbo Beam Cooling

Got a real quick one for you that I found while searching for my Microwave Weapon rules. Nothing too crazy but I think you guys will get some mileage out of it.

Turbo-Cooling (TL9)
By increasing the rate the energy weapons cooling system runs at you can safely double the weapons rate of fire or double how long you can maintain it's normal ROF. The down side is that this increases the cost of the cooling system and also increases the amount of vibration that they cause, far more then the normal dampening systems can handle. This introduces an increased level of jitter which in turn decreases the weapons beam quality by half, divide range by 4 and multiply Acc by 2/3rds. Turbo-cooling systems can be switched off with a ready action which lets them run as normal cooling systems. Not available for gatling weapons which use a similar system and plasma weapons. Double weapon cost.
