Deathray needs nerf bad.

I'll be honest by the time I am getting deathrays, usually map 3 or 4, I am done with my build. I won't even acknowledge anything with less than 200 base damage. And by this point almost nothing can stand against me. I am genocide.
The only thing that can stop me is multiple ships with death rays. The fact that the death ray is so OP is the only reason that I can't be 100% sure of victory after the 3rd map. It's threat is the only reason I can't blast straight to the final boss. At the end of it all it does not matter if the game is fair, it matters if the game is fun. A guaranteed victory is not fun it's boring.
