Pulse cannons are about as effective at shield breaking as light mortars, so if it's purely for damaging shields, you're better off with dual light mortars if your core can support it - and use another turret slot as primary. Cruisers are mostly effective in anti-gunboat role, and long range bombing of bigger capital ships (which they can outrun with their thruster, and outrange with the missile launcher). A rear-firing missile turret can be a good attrition strategy weapon.

I'd not use pulse turrets at all on capital (>gunboat) vessels, given their current stats.
