Able to virtually match blasters from 0-5km(depending on transversal).
While matching and or out damaging blasters from 5-15km.
Vastly out damaging them from 15-30km
And having no competition from 30-60+km
I would say...YUP overpowered....
Are u wow player ? Troll

Man, if you don't you are either blind or forgot to activate the right column on your overview to check...
You must be referring to AB BS, of which I see very, very few.
And on a side note (i.e. what this thread is actually about), I do not think pulse are particularly OP, I think the alternatives, blasters and ACs, simply aren't up to snuff.
The concept of underpowered or overpowered is relative. Soemthing must be OP in relation to something else.
For example, Pulse Lasers are severely underpowered compared to the 1 shot kill weapon mounted on the polaris frigs. Fortunately those frigs are not controlled by players so that is not an issue.
On the other hand compared to: Blasters, ACs AND Torpedoes, lasers are overpowered. To balance this you need to either nerf lasers or boost all the other three.
I don't need even to argue my case for Balsters and ACs, they are so inferior that it is blatantly obvious.
Regarding torpedos and AB, well, lets see, against a painted Typhoon, moving without AB at 165 m/s, Torpedoes inflict around 75% of its damage btw. If it has AB equipped damage drops, STILL PAINTED, to about 15%. Tripple painted the same damage goes to 30%. To achieve 100% damage you need to web it and tripple paint it...
ABs are very useful for battleships, especially in low sec where the need to get out of bubbles does not exist, but even in 0.0, against no AB battleships, you will be hard pressed to inflict the torpedoes maximum potential damage.
Now against smaller targets torps don't stand a chance against lasers.
So, in short, pulse lasers are just superior in about everything compared to any other short range weapon system, which the rare exception of immobile painted large targets against torpedoes. If that is not overpowered I really don't know what is...
Where are these fleets of AB fit BS in low sec?!

Why am I still hearing about AFTERBURNERs on BS?
What battleship uses an AB for pvp?! I'm dying to know - I haven't done it, and I don't see my opponents rocking afterburners.
What is the benefit in going 300 m/s to get into combat range, when a MWD will do it better. What benefit is an AB giving you that a different mid slot item wouldn't be better for?
I'm not trying to be an ass - I'm just wondering why people are using afterburner fits to compare BS weapon systems for pvp.
Its rediculous.

I will assume you are being sincere and want to discuss about it, and not trolling. So I will take my time and answer you.
ABs will greatly reduce the damage you take from both missiles and Blasters. They can't be shut down by blaster boats with warp scramblers, and don't increase your sig radius.
If you have a blaster boat you can't escape from having to use a MWD, but in a high range battleship like any amarr or caldari one ABs may be a better option, especially in low sec where escaping from bubbles is not an issue.
I'm as sincere as they come.
You are suggesting speed tanking with an AB on a high DPS battleship.
The key for any short range high dps weapon is getting into your optimal as fast as possible.
This will not happen with an AB.
You will waste time getting form one ship to the next, all for tanking better.
As for scrams....
So what? Gank BS can still do dps beyond scram range - the point is getting within 20km 3x faster with a MWD vs a an AB.
PvP is about dictating range for your engagement.
A battleship going 300 m/s isn't dictating ****.
