There are eight consoles on each battle-cruiser (BC). Each BC starts with seven and can buy an eighth.
Navigation
The BC is controlled by the Navigation console (NAV). This console has many tools: Radar Ping, Fire Yamato Cannon, and Engine Boost to name a few.
Weapons
Weapons are controlled here. Lasers, kinetics, and missiles can be launched from this station. It is the only console that can unlock the camera and provide overwatch support for team members.
Drones [A.I]
Drones can be purchased here, and given certain tasks. Currently drones can refine, mine, and load missiles.
Upgrades
One of the most important consoles on the BC is the Upgrades console. From here small ships, and the BC can be upgraded.
Science Console
This console is all about supporting team members. It can transfer power from the BC to small ships, stabilize the core, and arm the yamato cannon.
Power Management
Power levels for weapons, shields, and engines can be managed here. There are also a few other options like Shield Boost and increasing/decreasing core output. If you're new, stay off this console.
Construction
This console has many useful items that it can build. All items, unlike the Upgrade console can be carried in a player's inventory. Missiles, pilot items, and ship items can be purchased here.
Mass Replicator
The Mass Replicator allows players to convert power, from the BC's main power core, to minerals. It's not available in the beginning of the match. The Replicator must be purchased through the Upgrades console. If you're new to the game, stay off this console. You can quickly find yourself on the receiving end of a vote kick for fiddling with it.
