I've been using the medium lasers appropriately (Armour followed by Hull), But I think I need to alter my expectations in terms of their damage output relative to cannons in terms of how they perform. It's clear that they do work against appropriate targets but perhaps I'm not investing a lot of time during battles melting hulls properly!
I'll keep trying them!
The pen depth for the Medium Hull Laser, which should be your primary damage dealer, outside of capital beams, is the same as 250mm HE, which is only 0.5 less than 450mm HE. Not to mention that Medium Hull Lasers deal 120 Component Damage vs the 80 that 250mm HE does.
As for the beam fall off being extreme, that can't be the case because it uses exactly the same fall off curve that vanilla beams use. The frigate beam specifically is weaker than the vanilla beam simply because it's mounted on a much lighter hull, but from the Destroyer and up, beams should be as strong, if not stronger than their vanilla counterparts.
They feel really off with low pen depth and low component damage on most weapons, and the particle beams having extreme damage fall-off.
