In-game Description

The Pulse Turret is a versatile weapon, but is of limited use against capital ships and stations due to its relatively low damage output. It can otherwise be considered effective in engagement of a wide variety of targets.

The Large Pulse Turret improves on the performance of the medium-class version. In this format, its ability to inflict damage on all classes of target make it a true all-rounder.

Tactical Overview

The Large Pulse Turret is essentially an all-purpose weapon, excelling in defense against small and medium targets with its fast, hard-hitting, and accurate projectiles. While its damage output is high enough to pose a small threat to large targets, those of an extra-large size possess too much health to be significantly affected by it.

The factional differences are relatively minor.
The Argon and Teladi versions are typically average, serving well in an anti-fighter role.

The Paranid variant boasts faster projectiles and slightly extended firing range, but its slow reload speed and low damage makes it the least effective among all versions.

The Split version stands out as the best performer against enemy fighters, offering high DPS and a rapid firing rate that proves very effective against small and medium craft. The shorter range may only present a slight issue when engaging large targets.

The Terran version is the best option against large targets with the highest damage output. However, it shares the shorter range of the Split version, and its slow reload speed hampers its performance against fighters.

 

Advantages:

- Decent damage output

- Relatively long range

- Very accurate

- Effective against fighters and mediums

 

 

Disadvantages:

- Lower range than L Plasma turrets

- Damage output is lacking against capital ships
