Impulse Beam Turret

"The Impulse Beam is a short range Energy weapon that builds up an extraordinary amount of energy for bursts of high damage."

General
The Impulse Beam Turret is the base version of the Impulse Beam.

It fires an unstoppable bright yellow beam after charging up for a few seconds, much like its ship counterpart.

Advantages
Impulse Beam Turrets have good firepower and never miss, typical of Energy weapons.

They have relatively long range compared to other similar weapons, enough to catch a sniper decoy off guard if equipped with Focused Optics V.

Disadvantages
Impulse Beam Turrets have low range and can be easily sniped by destroyers.

Like most Energy weapons, Impulse Beam Turrets are inferior to the SICO Missile Turret, which has more range and firepower.

Impulse Beam Turrets carry a large amount of XP, making your base more vulnerable to high-level fleets.
