    Well, for example on the X-Wing, you have three different settings of fire. Think of the X-wing with it's X-shape and four wings each with four laser cannons on them. You have single fire, where only one cannon fires at a time, and is faster than anything else but has less of a punch. Then there is double fire where two of the cannons fire at once, and is a little slower than single fire but a little more powerful. And finally there is quad fire where all four cannons fire at once, which inflicts the greatest amount of damage but is the slowest of the three.


    Basically to sum it up, it's two or more laser cannons on some sort of fighting vessel firing at the same time. :)

    It's when a starfighter with more than one laser fires them all simultaneously.

    Actually, it's not limited to lasers. Proton torp and concussion missile lanuchers can also be fire linked if a fighter has more than one tube. Ion Cannons can be fire linked.

    True, but we only referred to laseres as the topic only referred to lasers; one would hope that he'd be able to extrapolate the meaning onto other weapons. :p
