Here is a sorted list for lasers and under "specials" some are listed as "Chargeable". Don't know wether the list is complete, though:

  1. Hold Right Click to charge, release to fire, or...
  2. Hold CTRL to charge, release to fire.
EDIT: AI controlled turrets don't use charging mechanics, so if you want your Osaka to charge shots, you have to use F1 to transfer to a suitable turret and fire it manually. Most of the time not worth the trouble, unless you're trying to perform a surprise shot or deal a heavy blow from far distance.

PPC, PSP, and IBL. For IBL the damage per second is actually worse, if you charge.

Keep trigger pressed. The guns will fire when at full charge. Sooner, if you release trigger.
If gun hardpoint is in view, then you should see the enlarging shot.

Note: I never use mouse and always use keyboard with Capital ships. Hence I know only the Ctrl's effect.

IBLs should conserve weaponspower when charged. I however feel the turrets lack umpff when you manually fire them. I 'feel' like I am not able to push as much bullets out of the guns as the AI can simply cause you just can not press the button well timed enough to not trigger a charged shot and also not 'lag' your firepower, imo.

It has worked! Too bad there is no percentage of charging shown...
Thank everyone for your suggestions!
