Newcomer / Intro Beam lasers

[555inuyasha]

Does anyone know where to get class 3 beam lasers large hard point?

Outfitting?

Try looking for the high tech space ports. I was having hard time finding them also.

They are power hungry and build up heat very fast. I soon went back to pulses.

They're around.

If you have them on your Vulture, you'll almost immediately go back to pulse lasers.

They can be nice if you want to play assassin style (hit hard and quick, then run away for some time). Since they are very power hungry you will need full energy to weapons all the time. Even then, they drain fast, so they are bad for longer fights or if you just want to fight all the time. Beam lasers demand rest phases. Pulses do more damage per energy invested and don't heat as much. Granted, to kill that sidewinder you will need perhaps 1 second longer, but for that conda you will actually be faster with pulses, since you can just keep firing.

Pulse lasers. Fixed pulse lasers.

I used to love the dual beams on my Viper, but you just don't need anything but fixed pulse lasers on a Vulture.

Trust me.

i have a beam laser and a gimb muilticannon on my volture and i'm quite happy. (especially when blowing away condas by ripping their power supply)

Twin class 3 pulse lasers is faster than any kinetic loadout.

ive got class 3 beam and pulse lasers... class 2 multicannons outclassed here... unless you need to save power...
