Firing the broadsides lasers, that are unlocked from the [[Upgrades Console|upgrades console]], is done from the [[Navigation Console|navigation console]] using the "Fire Left/Right Broadside Laser" ability. There are 2 separate abilities, each used to fire broadsides on different sides of the Battlecruiser.
Triple Burst is a relatively cheap upgrade that allows you to fire Lasers in sets of 3 rounds from the [[Weapons Console]].
To activate triple burst, click "switch to triple burst", then use the weapons console as normal.


When firing, the first shot will begin closer to the Battlecruisers front and slowly progress down along the side until it reaches the back. The broadsides always shoot an array of 5 lasers, each laser deals <span style="color:#FF0000">70 hull</span>/<span style="color:#0000FF">70 shields</span> damage . Broadside laser damage can be increased by [[Upgrade Laser|upgrading lasers]] and its energy cost can be reduced by researching [[Tier upgrades#T3 Upgrades|Tier 3 offensive]].
Overall, the number of shots per second increases noticeably however triple burst is less efficient than single burst, consuming a total of 500 energy (while Single Burst only consumes 100). On the other hand, the increase in dps often is the difference in getting a kill or saving an ally. Triple Burst raised dps also forces enemy [[Battlecruiser]]s to raise shields higher when under fire, consuming more of the enemies energy. Compared to [[Penta Burst]], Triple Burst is a good compromise between damage output and energy efficiency.


The difficulty of the Broadside Laser is aiming it, aligning your Battlecruiser such that the target runs parallel to you. This makes broadsides obsolete during chases.
Some features of Triple Burst:
*The Triple Burst, gains an energy (only cost 250 energy instead of 500) and cooldown bonus when they haven't been fired for 5 seconds. This bonus lasts for a couple of seconds, before returning to normal, after you start using the Triple Burst.
*Triple Burst damage is improved by [[Upgrade Laser|upgrading lasers]].
*Triple Burst energy cost can be reduced by [[Tier upgrades#T3 Upgrades|Tier 3 offensive]].

Description Fires Triple Burst Laser.

Triple Burst is a relatively cheap upgrade that allows you to fire Lasers in sets of 3 rounds from the Weapons Console. To activate triple burst, click "switch to triple burst", then use the weapons console as normal.

Overall, the number of shots per second increases noticeably however triple burst is less efficient than single burst, consuming a total of 500 energy (while Single Burst only consumes 100). On the other hand, the increase in dps often is the difference in getting a kill or saving an ally. Triple Burst raised dps also forces enemy Battlecruisers to raise shields higher when under fire, consuming more of the enemies energy. Compared to Penta Burst, Triple Burst is a good compromise between damage output and energy efficiency.

Some features of Triple Burst:

  • The Triple Burst, gains an energy (only cost 250 energy instead of 500) and cooldown bonus when they haven't been fired for 5 seconds. This bonus lasts for a couple of seconds, before returning to normal, after you start using the Triple Burst.
  • Triple Burst damage is improved by upgrading lasers.
  • Triple Burst energy cost can be reduced by Tier 3 offensive.
