Pulse Laser
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 therefore have a lower heat signature.
Pulse lasers are available as fixed, gimbal and turret mounted weapons.

- 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.
