I would download this in a heartbeat if you did to ore what you do to coal. Make it smeltable as a compressed block but with some loss.

What it could be is the speed of the laser from turret to biter. Bullets hit instantly but there is travel time on laser shots.
You could have the most powerful gun in the world, but if the enemy can get within range, shoot at your stuff and THEN die, whats the point in it!
