Why wouldnt they have recoil. Assume just for a moment that when you fire a laser with the activation cost of 95 GJ thats GIGA Joules (tachyon beam laser 2) , converts into 95,000,000,000 Watts per second. I don't care what anyone says but releasing that much energy out of the end of a barrel will definately cause some recoil.

The real question here is why do EVE lasers create visible beams?
A true laser does not create a visible beam. It only becomes visible when passing thorough medium like smoke or fog.
So in effect, what EVE has are not true lasers at all, but are just called that. With that argument, it is possible for this "beam" weapon to have recoil.
Well if you go with astrophysical theory that there is a lot of random 'dust' in space just all over the place, then that can explain visible lasers.

Well then space must be really dusty to create such bright beams. Someone get the vacuum cleaner.
BTW, lasers have been shot to the moon (in real life) and guess what...no beam was visible.

Capsule's on-board interface device interprets external data in the visible spectrum, don't you even know the slightest about the game's IP?
Then I should appear while cloaked...after all, I'm still visible in local chat, right?
space is dusty definately dusty especially if we have huge dark spots where the center of the galaxy is.
OH I could contend. light is a wave and not a particle. Light when tested in various way exhibits behavior reminiscent of wave emissions and not particle emissions.
