Commentary
A capital ship weapon for combat against capital ships and stations. Dealing the second highest shield dps and fifth highest hull dps allows the Photon Pulse Cannon to quickly kill targets. The long range makes this weapon good for bombarding large targets from a safe distance but the slow projectile speed makes hitting M6/M8 ships difficult and M5/M4/M3 ships can easily dodge incoming shots. Although able to be charged to release a volley dealing up to 4x damage it is often better to leave turrets to do continual fire and focus on flying. The higher rate of fire of the Commonwealth PPC compared to the Terran Point Singularity Projector means there is less of a penalty for missing making this weapon preferable for combatting M7 ships. Due to the numbers of PPCs required by M2 ships it is recommended to set up a few Photon Pulse Cannon Forges for personal use as soon as possible.
