Primary weapons balance enhancement

Disclaimer: I really like Everspace, the main reason of my suggestion is to make the game even more fun 
Hi guys! I want to share my thoughts about primary weapons balance. I find out for myself that Beam Laser M3 is the best general-purpose weapon in the game. There are two reasons for it. Beam Laser M3 has good dps and it's a BEAM! Using projectile weapons, I always have problems with aiming at small fast targets like Okkar fighters. Using beam weapons, aiming is much more easier. I believe that for most players projectile weapons have much smaller effective dps than beam weapons because of difficulty of aiming.
To simplify the aiming, I suggest to add new crosshair that tracks an expected position of a target (similar to gimbal weapon in elite dangerous). Firing at the crosshair leads to hitting if the targets will move with the same velocity. It can be implemented in different ways (work always, routine, enable in menu, etc), nevertheless I believe that any implementation of this feature will make projectile weapons much more usable.
BTW, I think that to add zoom for Shock Rifle is good idea too. I personally dislike pixel hunting
