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 Laser]] 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 therefore have a lower heat signature.

Class 1 Pulse Laser (Gimbal) mounted on a Viper

Template:Quote

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 laer types it emits the least waste heat, draws the least 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 Laser.

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