Burst Laser: Difference between revisions

Editing a gallery
Updated weapon stats, expanded introduction, and added class 4 burst lasers. Stats come from scotty.newlevels.org. Note that the 1G turret is not correct on Scotty so the data was patched from elsewhere and may be incorrect.

The Burst laser is an energy weapon that's mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs to be assigned to a fire group before it can be used. When fired it emits three laser blasts in each burst, much like a burst fire assault rifle compared to a semi-automatic rifle. Burst lasers do much more damage in a single burst than a [[Pulse_Laser|pulse laser]] does in a single shot. Burst Lasers require more power to use and generate more heat than a [[Pulse_Laser|pulse laser]].

Burst lasers do much more damage in a single burst than a [[Pulse_Laser|pulse laser]] does in a single shot.  
 
Damage type is thermic, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. Armour piercing capability is rather low (but very slightly higher than that of beam lasers), making them less effective against hulls than shields - but not ineffective. These traits are common to almost all laser weapons.
 
Burst Lasers require more power to use and generate more heat than a [[Pulse_Laser|pulse laser]], but not as much so as a [[Beam Laser]].

* Damage, DPS, and Thermal Load are all based upon the in-game display which is basically an "out of 10" scale thus the values for these sections should be assumed as approximations.
* Values for 1G turret may be currently incorrect.
