Triple Burst is a relatively cheap upgrade that allows your [[Weapons Console]] to fire Lasers in a triple burst. Overall, the number of shots per second increases noticeably in exchange for the three shots consuming a total of 500 energy, which is far more than the cost of a Single Burst which only consumes 100. On the other hand, the increase in damage per second can often make the difference in some scenarios where you may be forced to kill a [[Small Ships|Small Ship]] quickly, or try and force an enemy [[Battlecruiser]] to drain more energy on their shields. Compared to [[Penta Burst]], Triple Burst's upgrade, it is a good compromise between damage output and energy efficiency.

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.
