Pulse cannons can only be used on Gunships and Corvettes and are excellent against starfighters and other small, fast ships, thanks to their incredible arcs and accuracy. They pair up very well for anti-fighter duties alongside Heavy Lasers.
Their drawback is a lack of raw damage output. This is usually made up by superior arcs compared to plasma and laser cannons, but in a head-on engagement a gunship will have trouble against a starfighter.
