A pulse laser is mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs assigning to a fire group before you can use it. It's 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. Pulse lasers do not overheat as quickly as beam lasers.
A pulse laser is mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs assigning to a fire group before you can use it. It's an energy weapon which causes immediate damage to any ship it intersects at effective range. Pulse lasers can deliver a significant amount of damage in a single hit. Unlike beam lasers that fire continuously when they are active, a pulse laser fires intermittently in an on/off fashion - even when you hold down the fire button. Pulse lasers do not overheat as quickly as beam lasers and have a lower heat signature.


Pulse lasers are available as both fixed and gimbaled mounted weapons.
Pulse lasers are available as turreted, fixed, and gimballed mounted weapons.
