"The test bed was destroyed, so what. We account for capital and human resource losses in the spec. What matters is we got the results and no senior researchers were lost. Tell you what, I'll personally oversee the installation of a new cruiser-class shield rig once I'm on-site." - K. Astraia, recovered from Kallichore Archive
–In-Game Description
The Minipulser is a small hybrid kinetic weapon, it can be fitted on both ballistic mounts and energy mounts and receive double the bonus from the Ballistics Rangefinder hullmod.
The Minipulser excels on high-tech hull designs as they generally lack viable weapons to deal kinetic damage outside of missiles due to their dependency on energy weapons. On low-tech hulls, the Minipulser is less effective, due to their high OP cost of 8 and limited range, the Light Needler not only serves the same role but also has superior range.
