DESCRIPTION
The ZI-J547 Long-range Turbolaser is perfect when attacking enemy stations or larger ships. It fires off in bursts of 4 and can travel at extreme rates. The targeting system in the turbolaser starts becoming interfered when having to target close-range, most gunners have to make predictions when firing at such a short distance. A crew of 5-7 is recommended to have the turbolaser running at full efficiency. After every battle or skirmish, it is recommended to check the barrel and make repairs. To put customers in awe, a power increase function is added to increase the power in each shot by 30%. However, this feature can be disabled in an EMP or Ion shot.

Strengths:

• Turbolaser bolts are very high-yield, capable of damaging starfighters, pulverizing most ground vehicles, and dealing significant damage to shields and armor of larger spaceships. They also make a very effective ground bombardment weapon.
• The high-energy cohesion of Turbolasers gives them a very large range, though the effective range is still largely dependent on fire control solutions.
• Although its rotary movement is slow, these turbolasers can hit accurately a specific part of an enemy's ship.

Weaknesses:

• Turbolasers, in general, are mounted on large, bulky emplacements which have a hard time targeting strike craft and even smaller and faster corvettes.
• The increased energy output results in a slower cycle time for Turbolasers compared to their smaller variants.
• After 65% damage, the turbolaser is no longer repairable and must be replaced.

Can do a quick burst for 15 seconds every 3 minutes

Is this the same as the "blast of four" bolts?

 

[Nelson Zayne]

No, the turbolaser fires off 4 blasts every round and the quick burst is a rate of fire increase. Basically, is just saying each round is quicker than its normal time in the burst mode.

[member="Nelson Zayne"], if you'll add something to that effect into the description itself, just so there's no potential confusion.

Edited. I have changed the functions from a speed increase to a power increase because I feel it easier to explain.

Awesome. Pending Secondary Approval. Thanks! [member="Jamie Pyne"]

capable of destroying a starfighter in a single shot

You can rephrase this to not imply that a single shot will destroy a starfighter, struck directly or not, or you can remove this entirely. We do not allow members to write damage on other member's characters, nor do we permit submissions which provide an avenue to do so.
