All I'm saying that is that don't count it out. Just because things weren't adopted in the past doesn't mean they won't be when they become cheaper and more practicle in the future. Super advanced technology that was in prototype stages is common place now. I'm not saying that it will happen, just that there's a chance it could. It may not be used, but it may be possible. I doubt ground troops will be using laser weapons like, every anyway.

And aren't the EM1 and EPM3 prototypes in-game anyway?
