- Ammunition Type: Energy feed
- Ammunition Capacity: Low
- Effective Range: Long-range
- Rate of Fire: High
- Damage Output: Very High
- Recoil: Average
- Capacitor array
- Light speed shots
- Capacitors: The Pulse Laser can store shots in a large capacitor array, allowing for short periods of rapid fire before recharging the capacitors individually.
- Lightspeed: The laser is not a blaster, and the directed energy function of the weapon means it requires no lead on a target. While the shots are incredibly fast moving, the weapon must still align with the target and the beams do dissipate to ineffectiveness after a certain distance.
- Power hungry: The Pulse Laser’s capacitors take a large amount of power to charge, limiting their sustained fire rate.
The Hexus Pattern Light Pulse Laser is a point defense and fighter craft weapon that uses a beam generator, focussing lenses, and a large capacitor array to provide withering alpha strike firepower before a lengthy recharge. The Pulse Laser uses a pulsed laser design, meaning a line of sight is required between the weapon and its target. The beam has a near imperceptibly high speed, but degrades rapidly past a certain distance. After several seconds of firing, the laser's capacitors will be depleted. This requires it either bring its rate of fire down further or wait to recharge its capacitors before resuming.
