It's neither the Magnetron nor Dolphin beam, but it's a variation of the same logic. It always goes towards the target, but from my testing has a fixed duration and if the target is far away, the source starts fading out before the beam reaches the end, so it doesn't look like a laser at all in that case. In either case, you have access to the beta testing forum, feel free to grab a test version and play with it yourself
