You wouldn't. But if you'd hacked Elite and knew how to generate or over-ride the check digit on the commander file, you could rate your lasers at &FF (about twice as powerful as the rating for Military Lasers) and you had a "pulse laser" (well, that's what it said!) that could take apart a Thargoid Mothership in about three shots!!

You could also uprate your energy unit to &03 and never have to worry about your shields disappearing again

Ah, those were the days...
