currently, it feels like teslas have too little use outside of gleba. and i think a mixure of people thinking it requires ammo and just feeling like its too much of a hassle to even craft, it seems like a very very middling building. especially since lasers are cheaper and basically always as effective anyway, giving them the ability to be a half-decent side grade to lasers. being able to 1 shot the smaller asteroids, and doing a small amount of damage to mediums i think would really help them out.

it makes sense anyway, as high voltage electricity strikes will also break rocks IRL as well.

They could offer a repel force, at the cost of using up the valuable power and space on the platform.
