The Broadside Lasers are an incredibly powerful tool for dealing damage from the Navigation Console. There are two seperate firing abilities that allow the Battlecruiser to fire from either the left or right side. When firing, the first shot will begin closer to the Battlecruiser's front and slowly progresses along the side until it reaches the back. What is most incredible, however, is that the ability shoots out 5 projectiles that each deal 70 hull and shield damage on a two second cooldown. Furthermore, the ability costs only 800 energy to use, making it likely the most efficient method of dealing damage out of any non-consumable Battlecruiser ability in the game. Ultimately, the difficulty of the Broadside Laser is aiming it, and aligning the Battlecruiser such that it runs parallel to the enemy in order to prepare a clear shot. This makes it far less applicable during a chase scenario, which is ultimately it's greatest weakness.
