Default Re: Energy pulse vs Energy stream weapons

Meson BLasters (Pulse) are an excellent early to early-mid game weapon. You can research them quickly, the don't take up a lot of space, and they are fairly cheap. With large mounts on light cruisers they can be devestating.

Eventually they get out-damaged by the PPB (Phased) , and out-ranged by the APB (Stream) though, so later in the game you will want to phase them out of yout front line ships.
