Special Features:
High Firepower
Strengths:
* Firepower - The Skipper Pulse Turbolaser is more powerful than standard Turbolasers. It is roughly three times as powerful as a standard turbolaser.
Weaknesses:
* Short Range - The Skipper Pulse Turbolaser has a much shorter range than standard Turbolaser Cannons.
* Power - The Skipper Pulse Turbolaser requires more dedicated power to energize and operate the advanced magnetic's needed for its operation. It takes roughly the same power as two standard turbolaser cannons
* Cost - The technology and construction of the weapon makes it expensive to produce
Description: The MC1008 - Skipper-class Pulse Turbolaser Cannon is a state of the art advanced Turbolaser cannon technology development by the Engineers at Mon Calamari Shipyards. It is designed for close quarters engagements in mind where its powerful punch can be best utilized.
The Skipper Pulse Turbolaser works by Energizing plasma and passing it through a series of multiple magnetic field generators. These fields separate the energized plasma bolts and separates them into multiple contained charged plasma fields where it is allowed to coalesce, agitate, and build up. Upon firing, One by one each magnetic field is de-energized, allowing the bolt energy to be redirected and released at a target. The very rapid release of energy layers builds an layered onion type bolt where each layer is released in its own containment forming a multi-field bolt of energy. This bolt then travels the distance to its target where upon impact the first layer impacts the target followed in succession by each of the following layers of energy.
While each layer is far less powerful than a standard turbolaser bolt the combined energy from the successive impacts cause substantially more damage as each bolt contains more condensed power over a shorter time period. Overall the weapon system is equal in power to three standard turbolaser cannons.
OOC: 3x damage of normal Turbolaser cannon. 1/2 range of Turbolaser. Counts as 2 Turbolaser Cannons.
