The Belkan super weapons can be fired at any time, but we intend to only use them if

1. Doc approves (0.00000001% chance)

2. Last resort if we lose the battle and we need to take out the base

3. The laser could be used, but only to kill enemy missiles, like Doc did with our attempts to destroy the meteor.
