After some head scratching and complicated compare sheets I am still unsure as to which is better, Amarr navy mega pulse with faction crystals (and slightly better multiplier) OR tech II mega pulse with scorch and conflag (with more base damage). Fitting or cap is not a problem, I am looking for DPS.
skills are not an issue either, specialisation on 4, which is better?
Anyone figured this little conundrum out yet?

OK, I have just traded a few LP's and ISK in for 4 amarr navy mega pulse and some more for a hold full of crystals.
Conclusion to this post is....
Too many crystals, maybe more damage on the multifrequencys but the confusion over having so many crystal types is never worth it. Reminds me of the old days of modulated lasers.
Scorch and Conflag 4tw, much simpler
WTS, 4 x amarr navy mega pulse lasers with some unused crystals :P
Thanks for the input, case closed

Not sure why you'd need so many. Maybe MF/Gamma, Standard, and Microwave. Really has nothing to do with them being faction lasers either.
But whatever, to each his own.

I used to use MF, UV and Radio only before T2 but just wanted to see what sort of output, range etc with faction as well as pure DPS, trouble is to gauge it effectively you need to have optimal range which is why I tried a few crystals.
Think the experiment just proved I was just being too picky but its one I have been pondering for too long, the T2 lasers rip through stuff quickly enough, just nice to rid your whole ship of tech II for the hell of it really.
Stick with scorch I think.

Juste forget conflag if you have some AN MF.
Conflag just give a too little more damage to compensate their tracking malus |

To work out your DPS use this calculation, should make it easier than sitting there trying to judge whether you're killing things faster/slower:
[Ammo Damage] x [Damage Mod] x [Number of Guns] / ROF
So for example for some Amarr Navy Pulse on a Paladin with 1x damage mod, lvl 5 skills and Amarr Navy MF:
55.2 x 14.82422 x 4 / 5.07465 = 645 dps
and...
T2 Pulse on a Paladin with 1x damage mod, lvl 5 skills (specialization lvl 4) and Conflag L:
56 x 15.3695 x 4 / 5.07465 = 678dps
T2 with Amarr Navy MF:
669dps
Hope this answers your question.

Fixed. Faction lasers dont benefit from specialization. Also Scorch is the bomb

For Paladin... definitely. I don't think I would ever use any pulse laser EXCEPT t2 pulse in missions, because they simply rely so heavily on scorch. Paladin can fit t2 tachys with max cap skills, and before that AN tachys work well, and so I'd consider those as well.

There are two types of crystals for Mega pulses (except in missions where you might have some use for mid ranged crystals).
1. Scorch
2. Multifrequency (preferably faction).
There is simply no reason anymore to fit Conflagration, because any advantage it gets in damage will be eaten up by its inferior tracking.
Add the fact that it uses up more cap than Multis and the choice is clear.
