Quantum Pulse ..What's the point

[lowpolygon]

Seriously, I built one just to see what is this all about. So..it emits a pulse which not just damages enemy ships, but myself too ? And from the look of it, it seem to do more to me than enemy ships. And never mind the range...is this a joke weapon ?

It's not a joke, and it's quite useful in some scenarios. So, first things to know: this is almost never a good combat weapon for large ships, as explosions can hit multiple hitboxes. On the other hand, this makes it an able weapon against large ships, it can be very effective at clearing swarms of small ships, and can be the most effective pd weapon imaginable. If you stack explosion size mods, enhancements and such you can get it to be practically screenwide, making it also the fastest way to mine asteroids.

If you really want to use it in combat against major enemies, I highly recommend making a charging one (and/or putting it on a spinal) and always triggering a barrier at the same time. Tune it to the right amount of damage and it can be the most effective weapon in a spinal, while still dealing only marginal damage to you.
