Burst Laser

Revision as of 05:28, 31 March 2015 by 174.54.154.83 (talk) ("single shot assault rifle" is stupid.)

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 does in a single shot. Burst Lasers require more power to use and generate more heat than a pulse 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.
