What are consoles

Consoles allow marines to interact with the Battlecruiser and its functions.

Interacting with consoles

To use a console simply walk into the highlighted circle found directly in front of the console you want to use. while u stand in that region you will take control of the console and will be able to use it. To get off a console, move you marine away from the console or press escape while you have the console selected. If you deselect your console while your marine is occupying it you can click the select console tab, or simply click on the console you are using to reselect it.

Name Screenshot of console Location Description Screenshot of minimap
Navigation Console * Upper Deck; Bridge. 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. *
Drones [A.I]/AI Console * Upper Deck; Bridge. Description of AI console *
Weapons Console * Upper Deck; Bridge. 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. *
Upgrades Console * Upper Deck; Bridge. 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 * Upper Deck; Bridge. 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/Energy Console * Upper Deck; Isolated at the back. 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 Console * Lower Deck; Next to refinery. 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.

Hanger Console * Lower Deck; At the hanger. Description of hanger console. *
Mass Replicator * Lower Deck; Near construction and refinery. 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.
