KEY WORD: SPACE.
What a lot of people don't realise, is that i multi task many things at once, as of this moment I'm having a conversation with someone on skype, have background music on, working on 3 documents, working on finding a string, in addition to posting on two forums, all at once. And sometimes throw in a game. So i think i'm entitled to some slack.
The reason they don't use the ventral beam in Space combat is because its awkward to use unless there's a vessel directly beneath it. The Long Night of Solace destroyed the Grafton then laid waste to the Reach defense fleet. If your theory were true the solace wouldn't have used its ventral beam against the Grafton, especially not with so many UNSC ships in the area. Also you act as though we've seen countless space battles in the Halo canon. The fact that we've seen the ventral beam used to destroy vessels and continents alike is plenty evidence that they are the same weapon. Do they likely have different settings? Obviously otherwise the beam used to destroy the grafton would have likely slagged half a continent, same thing with MACs. Is there any evidence using the weapon takes shields offline or any of the stuff you said? Nope.
Also an Energy Projector isn't molten metal, you are thinking about the Thanix cannon from Mass Effect.
