No more star, no more power. Pretty inefficient to make a multi-gazillion dollar weapon that can only shoot twice!
That was a question that I had as well. I thought it was a really silly weapons context, but the only thing that I can think of is that its somehow mobile and can be moved to other Stars. This is eluded to in a Star Map of the Galaxy that has been released with a label Star Killer Base Origin.
