Some thoughts.

How about the Annihilator Beam or Nova Beam? The Nova Beam could be a slower-flying version of the power beam that does ripping damage. Basically a rapid-fire ripping green fireball launcher, which could be a stand-in for the plasma gun.

Annihilator beam is pretty self explanatory as a superweapon or plasma rifle. It could possibly require an ammo source like Missiles, so that it would need to be conserved and keep reckless spam in check. The charged beam would fire a gigantic slow ball that dealt damage to anything it could see, like the Quake 2 BFG 10k. A twist on that is one that dealt constant, wide radius damage and sucked things into it as it flew, then detonated in a massive explosion on impact with something. Deal is, charging obviously leaves you open, and it'd use a lot of ammo.

Also, Ice could use splash or constant radius damage through the flash-freezing of the surface it hits to fit the rocket launcher slot better. Damage would be fairly heavy, but have a real slow rate of fire.

Charged wave beam could interfere with enemies' visors for PVP, and the charge could paralyze monsters.

What about the Hyper Beam
