Otherwise, I think beam lasers should be fixed almost always. The best bet is to keep trying different combinations until you find something you like.
Nov 2, 2017 @ 4:00pm Pulse Laser vs beam vs burst What are the differences between these types of lasers? I never really used them. well why would you disregard all of the above?! Burst lasers are your semi-automatic or short burst weapon.Beam weapons do the least damage, generate the most heat, and use the most power. I used to be part of the beam crew, but I've grown to like Pulses a lot more. They supposedly have the best damage per energy, but I can't think of any builds where that'd be more useful than beams or pulses. Please can anyone explain the pros and cons of Burst laser vs pulse laser vs beam laser.I get that laser is good for shileds, and projectiles is good for hulls.Generally it is considered that Beam is better than Burst which is better than Pulse...TL;DR they depend on how you use them, burst is more generally effective but pulse and beam have situation advantages.Pulse delivers the most damage per shot, generates the least heat, and consumes the least power. Bursts are kind of inbetween. Beams obviously do the most overall damage but consume the most power / produce the most heat with burst somewhere in-between.
I've mostly used multi-cannons. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Elite Dangerous. They're good if you do a lot of silent running or like to place shots (e.g. Whether to use beam lasers or pulse lasers depends on the situation. Wrong on a second count. they play a vital role to answer your questioN! All rights reserved. just enter them in edshipyard and look at what you care for!
The Beam Laser is an energy weapon that continuously emits a high-intensity laser beam for as long as it is fired or until it depletes its available energy capacitors. For my Vulture, I tend to use a tier 3 beam laser and a tier 3 gimballed multicannon. Beams are your full-auto weapon with a complicated magazine that takes ages to reload.Upgrade power capacitor and power plant and then beams are light sabers! However, now that I own a Cutter, i'm seeing the value of laser turrets. My problem is I don't know which laser type would be best, and what mods I should add to them. They're the more general all around laser weapon. They give a higher damage for a short period of time. I tend to use a single beam on the largest hard point/points of my ship. They're the more general all around laser weapon. Think I read somewhere pulse are better at targetting subsystems. if you go to edshipyard on your right there is a box which states the % of recharge with your load out and pips Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. It has the capacitor, damage PER successful burst, with the exact same statistic of a pulse laser… For sheilds, than everything else is balastic for the hull. Use beams to take out the sheilds, burts and pulse have different energey consumption and armor penitration. If you are using an all laser setup for say, bounty hunting indefinately, then pulse wins by far. Burst lasers are your semi-automatic or short burst weapon. All rights reserved. Both shreds away shields and hull on most ships I encounter while bounty hunting Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. Only perhaps on big freighters and big attack vessels you could install some turreted beam lasers as additional defensive measure. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Compared to other energy weapons, Pulse Lasers are relatively weak, but they are cheap, and their low power consumption and heat generation allows them to be fired more frequently. shooting off cargo hatches). They're good if you do a lot of silent running or like to place shots (e.g. Can I equip any other weapons on an Anaconda instead of beam lasers, pulse lasers and multicannons without exceeding the power plant capacity, like … Press J to jump to the feed. I am not sure what the pros and cons of burst vs pulse lasers are. i use right now 3 large long range pulse, at 1km+ you do full damage out to 6km. wolf. Which is best depends on your ship, your target and your playstyle.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castThe official unofficial subreddit for Elite Dangerous, we even have devs lurking the sub!

Pulse Laser (Class 3, Fixed) Single-pulse laser weapon... — In-Game Description. i tryed both LR and focused alot and decided to stick more with the focused weapons as most efficientNote: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic. Thanks for the answers, I already have my combat build sorted ;) I'm a noob when it comes to lasers. Easy to control, with minimal thermal load.Beams fire a continuous beam, but tend to be a lot more power hungry, so unless you have a very good power distributor then don't bother with them.Beam does a little more damage than burst which does a little more damage than pulse.Beam uses more energy than burst which uses more energy than pulse.Pulse is better in terms of damage/energy, Beam is better in terms of damage/time (until you run out of weapon energy). I tend to prefer beam over anything else. Wrong on a second count. Unless it has been changed recently. So here I am seeking advice. But they are not using your power distributor efficiently, and are good if your target is out of range before your distributor is depleted. Burst is a 3 round burst, pulse is single fire. Burst lasers are the weird middle child. Pulse Laser (Class 3, Fixed) Single-pulse laser weapon... — In-Game Description. a Burst laser is 3 pulse laser shots-in one.
