Will you take the JK challenge? by CommonSenseOTB, on Flickr

After having some combat experience with the JK Pulse Laser I can now say it is an interesting challenge for the experienced pilot.

Combat with lone opponents is not too difficult, except when they have injectors, then it's just a waiting game till they run out of fuel as while they make strafing runs you may hit a few shots, they have ample time to regenerate the meager damage you inflict.

It took me 54 shots to take out a lone python and laser overheat takes a whopping 75 shots with the trigger continually pressed, that's 49.5 seconds of steady firing. Multiple opponents take some doing and more than 3 at a time should probably be avoided with this weapon.

On the other hand, the low energy consumption makes using this with the Adder and Cobra Mk.1 a natural for these ships' low energy recharge. During one combat I had my front laser damaged along with other equipment and this took me by surprise as I had to do a double take and realise I needed to do a hasty retreat. Quite refreshing to have the tables turned in this way.

Umm...the real JK Lasers.

This is very amusing. Which came first? Who inspired who?

I guess I'll have to give more respect to the JK Pulse Laser.

I just clicked the link.

Troomp has gobbled up JK lasers!
