High Scatter Amplifier
Overview
High Scatter Amplifier is a hullmod that can be installed on any ship. Commonly referred to as HSA.
Interactions with other modifiers: The base range is reduced, thus percentage and multiplicative modifiers - such as from Integrated Targeting Unit, skills, or similar sources - apply to the reduced base value.

Notes
The math for beam range is 200 + 0.5 * (beam range - 200). What this means is the first 200 units of range are unaffected, then any extra range is cut in half. For instance, the Phase Lance has 600 range. The first 200 of that is unaffected, then the other 400 is cut in half, to 200, so the final range is 200 + 200, which is 400.
Incompatible with Advanced Optics.
Tips and strategies
The following section contains user-submitted suggestions, these may be inaccurate or outdated.
- Allows for Beam weapons to deal Hard Flux at the cost of range, essentially turning them into close range weapons.
- While giving your beam the ability to deal more damage and hardflux, the range cut is absolute brutal to beam weapon. You have to evaluate wether it is worth it to use hsa beam weapon over other projectile weapon.
- One particular use case is on Scarab, which only have Small Energy slot. On it, pd weapons like Burst PD Laser or LR PD Laseractually become a reliable hardflux source when paired with HSA.
