A necessary nerf as in the original game, weapon fragments were the main constraint for your reserach. This means you don't need ANY scientists as unless you play on Superhuman, you won't get enough fragments fast enough to benefit from Laboratories. This is made worse by the fact that 1. You can't sell laser weapons for cash like the old Dos game and and 2. You want to avoid unnecessary research to conserve weapon fragments.
I just wish they simply gave us good reasons to use laser, like making them have more shots per reload, instead of punishing us for getting Plasma fast.
