Pulse Discharger
Previously, we had pioneered the howitzer-class of weapons as an offense against larger ships while offering the flexibility of potential installation on any military craft. While such was in development there was a sister project, closer adhering to the old torpedo standards. However, rather than an archaic and hastily guided explosive package, this design consists of a large network of electromagnetic generators and field amplifiers phased in an array connected to a projection dish. The resulting burst will arc across space, delivering a lethal blow to the targeted ship. The arc is continuous, thereby allowing for direct charging and not risking loss of potential through travel time from firing to target impact.

Notes:
- Hulls listed are the minimum hull size to mount/target. All weapons are mountable/targetable on/against any hull size larger than the base size. Targeting a larger hull size results in a damage penalty.
- Effective damage refers to the actual damage times the weapon's rate of fire. This is the total damage that you will do on average a turn, assuming every shot hits.
- Attack rating affects the chance you will hit the enemy ship.
- All data is given at the 3rd technology sublevel (x-3).
