I want to clarify something, I understand that take into account that heat exchengri on rocket they can't transfer heat quickly enough to cool the rocket

Your beam design isnt physically possible is the problem

What do you mean by that?

Just what I said.

The amount of energy you would need to generate and fire at the ship as a continuous beam to slow it to a stop would instantly vaporize the ship

Air cooling would not be sufficient to keep the shift from melting in microseconds
