it produces a laser-induced plasma channel capable of dealing short-range pin-point damage to a target.

It uses lasers to form an electrically conductive laser-induced plasmachannel (LIPC). A fraction of a second later, a powerful electric current is sent down this plasmachannel and delivered to the target,

A laser-Induced plasma channel (LIPC) is formed by the following process:

1.) A laser emits a laser beam into the air.

2.) The laser beam rapidly heats and ionizes surrounding gases to form plasma.

3.) The plasma forms an electrically conductive plasma channel.

- Because a laser-induced plasma channel relies on ionization, gas must exist between the electrolaser weapon and its target. If a laser-beam is intense enough, its electromagnetic field is strong enough to rip electrons off of air molecules, or whatever gas happens to be in between, creating plasma. Similar to lightning, the rapid heating also creates a sonic boom.

So my scr should be shooting lightning out of it? CCP I want my purple lightning naaaaoow.

So how does laser teck work in space then...

The Scrambler is said to use lasers to conduct plasma bolts in the following manner,



Channel,
Alright now this is what I got from this article on electrolasers,


That settles it, no more guessing.
Scrambler weapons use lasers to super heat air into plasma ,or laser induced plasma channel, and then conduct electricity throug it.

The Scrambler weapons are electrolasers.

And here is the actual manner in.which laser induced plasma channels work,

So how does laser teck work in space then...

Bullets work everywhere (^ v ^).

Not in space they dont.
