Multiple Lasers

Some core and OXP ships can use more than one forwad laser mounts if this OXP is installed.

You will pay multiple amounts of credits when you buy weapons and laser heat will be multiplied as well, so you must be even more careful and save your shots to the best moments.

Usually harder to hit the enemy with all of your lasers due to the horizontal space between the laser beams, more space mean harder usage. Regardless of you hit with your central laser, the additional ones can miss, so you should roll your ship into the best position where all can touch the target at once.

Only Vipers and a few more ships (marked with * in the next tables) hold a special laser which can fire the whole multiplied power through a single central barrel. These shots looks like single but a bit thicker beams.
