{{quote|Single-pulse laser weapon...|In-Game Description}}

A pulse laser is mounted on one of a ships hardpoints and requires assignment to a fire group before you can use it. It's an energy weapon which causes immediate damage to any ship it hits at effective range.

Pulse lasers can deliver a significant amount of damage in a single hit. Unlike other Lasers that fire continuously when triggered, a pulse laser fires intermittently in an on/off fashion. Compared to the other two laser types it emits the least waste heat, draws the least [[Power Distributor|distributor]] energy and is also cheapest, at the cost of DPS/Damage.

Pulse lasers are available as fixed, gimbal and turret mounted weapons.

==Specifications==
Another variant is the [[Pulse Disruptor|Pulse Disruptor Laser]].

It deals thermic damage at a [[Damage Falloff|Falloff Range]] of 500m and a maximum range of 3000m for every Pulse Laser.

Beam Laser

[[File:Beamlaser ja02 copy.JPG|thumb|200px|Medium beam laser, official art]]

'''Beam Lasers''' are high-damage thermic-based [[weapons]] that operate on energy. Once fired, a pinpoint laser beam exits the weapon mount and causes immediate damage to any vessel surface it collides with, especially at effective range.

Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available or until weapon overheating sets in.

Infamous for their high power consumption, beam lasers belong to the most damaging [[weapons]] in the game. With their pinpoint accuracy and high penetration at close range, they are also highly effective for targeting specific subsystems of enemy [[ships]].
