Lasers are energy weapons favored by the Amarrian race. There are two types of laser weapons, beam lasers and pulse

lasers. Beam lasers are used in long range encounters, while pulse lasers are more suited for close to medium

range encounters.

Laser weapons use frequency crystals to alter range and damage. Unlike other ammunition types, tech 1 frequency crystals can be used

indefinitely, which in turn saves money and cargo space. However, lasers consume capacitor upon activation, which is considered their main drawback.

To load your turrets while in station, open the fitting window and drag and drop the frequency crystals on to your laser turrets.

Alternatively, in space, if you have the crystal in your cargohold, right-clicking your laser turrets and selecting a crystal will load it.

To get the best result from your weapon, make sure you know the weapon's optimal range. This can be found in the attributes

tab of their show info window, accessible through the turret contextual menu. You should choose your orbiting distance based on

this information.

You do not have to worry about manually re-loading, when your gun runs out of ammo, they will automatically reload with the ammo in your cargohold. When

using laser turrets and frequency crystals, this should not be an issue. But it is good to know, should you venture into other weapon types.

Most races rely on multiple types of weapons. That means that most ships will allow you to carry either a mix of guns and

missile launchers, guns and drones or another combination.

It is always a good idea to see what bonuses your ship provides. You can see these bonuses by right-clicking on your ship and selecting show info, and

looking at the descriptions tab. You will get better performance by fitting your ship with weapons that will benefit from these bonuses.

Please refer to the following EVElopedia articles for more information about [ship fitting], [general fitting strategies] and [laser turrets].
