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.
Tactical Overview
The Pulse Turret is the basic entry-level turret and is freely available from all factions without any reputation requirements.
The accuracy is on the average side of things, with a solid enough projectile speed, so a good number of the near-constant stream of projectiles will hit the target.
It only lacks in damage output, being less than an S Mk1 Pulselaser.
Destroying targets will take a while. Heavy Fighters can already shrug off the damage for quite some time. Anything larger will only feel a tickle.
Overall it is a solid turret that is capable of defending a ship from light fighter threats.
Don't expect it to repel a dedicated fighter strike though, especially not one done by heavy fighters loaded with heavy weapons or missiles.
Advantages:
- Reasonably accurate
- Fastest tracking speed of all turrets
- Effective against light fighters
- Relatively long range
Disadvantages:
- Very low damage output
