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 | The Burst Laser is an energy weapon that is 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. | ||
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]]. | |||
