Positron Bolt

"A powerful celestial rifle that fires an extremely high velocity Kinetic round that can pierce through multiple targets."

General
The Positron Bolt, when activated, fires a concentrated fan of three devastating Kinetic projectiles at an enemy in range. If no enemy is in range, the projectiles are fired blindly from the heading of the parent ship.

Advantages
The Positron Bolt travels extremely quickly and can thus reliably hit enemies that are in range for massive damage. Moreover, if enemies are lined up, its Piercing ability can further multiply the total damage dealt.

As the Positron Bolt can still be fired when no enemies in range, fighters and rangers can attack distant enemies by taking advantage of the fact that the AI automatically faces them towards the current target.

Disadvantages
The Positron Bolt has a slight spread and is thus prone to missing one or more of the projectiles against enemies at long range.

Trivia

 * The Positron Bolt is the first trigger item to be released.
 * The mass requirement of all trigger items was removed in the late October 2020 update.
