Gameplay[]
This weapon automatically shoots at attacking fighters and missiles. The player has no control over it.
Despite the burst fire, the projectile remains rather weak. Expect it to struggle with heavier missiles and to falter entirely against Light Warships. As this is a weapon utilizing burst fire, the DPS does not increase linearly as expected with multiple installations. You may buy 4, but expect 2 to do just as much.
Outfit[]
Quad Light Blaster Turret on an IDA Frigate
"Comprised of quadruple Pyrogenesis Blaster Lasers on the most technically advanced turret they offer, the Quad Light Blaster system comes with a guarantee that it will dispose of your hostile fighter problems once and for all. Shipboard gunners salivate at the thought of being permanently assigned to one of these beauties. While the QLB System is heavy, as a point defence weapon system it automatically tracks, without any input from the bridge, incoming missiles and enemy fighter squadrons and pours a truly prodigious amount of fire into them, creating havoc."
A highly advanced turret comprised of four Light Blasters, the Quad Light Blaster Turret features an automatic targeting and fire-control system which locks on to incoming missiles and fighters, making it a point defence weapon. This system cannot target ships of size medium or larger, however.
To purchase the legal version, you must have completed part of the Bureau Storyline. Specifically, you must have completed Scout Moash Space. The legal version is available on mid-tech Federation planets such as where you'd find a Medium Blaster Turret.
"And you can buy it here without a license, but you had better be wary of Federation scans..."
To purchase the illegal version, you must have completed part of the Rebellion Storyline. Specifically, you must have completed Intel Re-assignment. Despite that requirement, the illegal version is not for sale at any Rebellion bases and is only available on planets with illegal outfitting services such as Simpson, Altia, Harbor and Rimerta.
The illegal Quad Light Blaster Turret has the same mass as the legal version, so it's efficiency remains the same.
