Double | +1d10 | 0 | Licensed | x3 |
Quad | +2d10 | 1 | Restricted | x5 |
Double and Quad versions of Blaster Cannons, Laser Cannons, Ion Cannons, and Turbolasers are available, creating reciprocating multibarrel weapons. A Double or Quad Cannon has the given availability, or the availability of its base Weapon System, whichever is more restrictive.
Autofire[]
Double or Quad Blaster Cannons, Laser Cannons, Light Ion Cannons, and Light Turbolasers can fire normally or in Autofire mode, with a Swift Action required to switch between the two.
Triple Cannons[]
Some Starships also carry Triple Cannons. These are functionally identical to Double Cannons, using three cannons (with slightly less power individually) instead of two standard cannons.
