Beam lasers have same damage mod as pulse lasers, but have more range?
and only for more cap and grid?
hmm... every setup i do on an omen for good damage gets foiled by pulse lasers low range.. hmmm
4x Focused Medium Beam Laser, Xray M charges
1x Heavy Missile Launcher, appropriate damage type missile
2x Cap Recharger
1x Statis Webifier
1x Med armor rep
2x RCU
2x Open lowslot (Heat Sink?)
with 2 lowslots open, it leave 150 grid left and no range issues. and should do good damage
also has enough CPU
what i dont get is i can never calculate much more than 45-50 damage from t1 cruiser guns, but i see hits of MUCH more. huh?
im guessing even my own hits will do more
as proof:
multifrequency M:
14 EM
10 Thermal
Heavy Pulse Laser:
3x damage mod
x1.25 from medium laser skill=3.75
x1.2 from surgical strike=4.5
14x4.5=63
10x4.5=40
40+63=103
however, i see people making much more than that, ive watched them make much bigger hits from much farther than this laser.
where is the sense in damage?
(if not, then i conclude dmg/s to be a useless stat)

aww man wrong character..
and also, if the setup is completley horrible, help me because the low grid seems to prevent all good weapons from going on it.
must.. have.. help...

Beam Lasers have less dps, but they do have more range yes.

I believe the biggest issue with using beam lasers is the loss in tracking compared to pulse lasers.
The reason hits often appear to be much greater than the amount you calculate, is because gun hits do somewhat randomized damage. The Damage you calculate is approximately the average amount you will deal, but each individual hit may do more or less. |

Also, the beams use more cap, which is the lifeblood of Amarr ships (I think they do, anyway

All so cruiser beams have problems hitting frigs at close range even if you web them where pulses have less of the problem. Only thing is if you use pulses you need a afterburner.

Pulses have a higher DPS than beam because they fire faster.
You also need to drop those 2 RCU, they're crippling your setup. Drop the heavy launcher, and with your spare grid you should be able to replace those 2 RCU by one PDS.
suggested setup:
4 heavy pulse
1 assault launcher or rocket launcher
AB
web
cap recharger
med armor repairer
energised adaptative membrane
cap power relay
heat sink, or PDS/RCU, if you have trouble fitting that.
