Before you get to laser cannons, producing & selling laser rifles is the way to keep your economy in the green. Before that, it's medikits. And even before that, your workshops should be busy producing weapons that you need to survive

The most profitable items to produce for sale before laser cannons are motion scanners, at $18 per hour and engineer, taking into account price and all costs. Laser rifles are arguably the best weapon to use, but earn only $7.5, and medikits $9.3. Laser cannons earn a whooping $61.9 per hour and engineer, so they make a big difference, although they're useless for your craft and you also need to research heavy laser which is worthless for both using and selling. But motion scanners are the absolute second in profitability after laser cannons.
