Line 1: Line 1:
A pulse laser is an energy weapon that causes immediate damage to any ship it intersects at effective range. Pulse lasers deliver a significant amount of damage in a single hit. Unlike beam lasers that continue to cause damage as long as they are active, a pulse laser will only damage a ship that intersects its path when it is fired.

{{quote|Single-pulse laser weapon...|In-Game Description}}
The '''Pulse Laser''' is an energy weapon that emits intermittent laser blasts while being fired. Compared to other energy weapons, Pulse Lasers are relatively weak, but they are cheap, and their low power consumption and [[heat]] generation allows them to be fired more frequently. All newly-purchased [[ships]], regardless of size or manufacturer, always come equipped with up to two Pulse Lasers by default.


Pulse lasers do not overheat as much as beam lasers.

The Pulse Laser inflicts thermal damage, making it very effective against shields and less effective against armour. Its maximum range is 3000m but [[Damage Falloff]] begins at just 500m. Pulse Lasers can deliver a significant amount of damage in a single hit. Unlike other laser weapons that fire continuously when triggered, a Pulse Laser fires intermittently. Compared to the other two laser types it emits the least waste heat, draws the least [[Power Distributor|distributor]] energy, and is also the cheapest type of weapon, but these advantages come at the expense of firepower.
 
A variant of the Pulse Laser, the [[Pulse Disruptor]], is available as a [[Powerplay]] loyalty reward.
