o dear god, not for freespace2, only in trekkie TCs...*shivers at the thought*

you could do a ST shuttle flyby with its phasers and blow stuff up on large ship (voyager does that a lot). Cool Oh yeah and my TC too! I want fighter beams which go stright and that swing to target.

Voyager got very bad reviews for doing that, mainly cause it's non-realistic and stupid.

Who cares? Im not a engineer who plays by the book and never trys anything diffrent anyway! (eh? even i don't understand why I put that)
It looks good and it was cool... thats all it needs to be, without it it would have turned into "Quick, we need to hold a confrence! Captain! They just won't accept our peace offering! oh dear, I sujest we run away! The end."

anyway in the clearas possible way of explaning it...

it better because of it... yes ingnor all the above and this sentence and read that bit there.

ok so i will explain what i ment:

Fighter beams are a stupid idea, what i ment was a secondary beam for bombers to take out cap ships with, it has a set amount of fuel so you have to be conservatave in your jugement when to fire. we already have a rediculasy powerfull bomb the heilos, as long as you dont make it more powerful than this i dont see a problem.

The downside to this is it will be hard to aim when moving fast or rotating. Making you an easy target just like when you are on a bombing run.

Stop calling me a newbie i joined HLP before you LtNarol i just dont post every day. i think venom posted somthing that applys nicely to you.

"you know, some people just love to complain and be against everything new. just ignore them."

Although an anti-cap secondary beam might work, I think that having anti-fighter beams on bombers would be better. In the non-controllable turret, make a weak aaaf. That way, when bombers are going in for bombing runs they will be more protected. Besides, with the anti-cap secondary beam, you have no time to run when the ship blows.

[LAW ENFORCER]

AAA beams on bombers? done.

Fugitive class bandiot bomber from my TC *puffs up cheast and tries to look important.... fails*
its a weaker still version so its sort of balanced... until I make the Segie calss...

[Kabal]

or change the aaa beam so it has a very big mass and little damage so when it hits something, that thing gets pushed of course (like a reverse tractor beam)

Dredging up old topics...

Beam bomb type things do have lots of poential uses. I'd love to see some sort of beam-mine. Basically, it'd be a very small power core, jammed, and have turrets on each face (or a few faces). When in range, it'd fire short range, medium-power beams at capital ships. You could create a latticework of beam death from them...

However, to make them balanced you'd want to make them pretty weak and not anti-fighter, or something. I do realise these can easily be made with the current incranation of FS as well, by the way...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how would this differ from the Mjolnir RBCs in the main campaign?

[Warlock]

Just a thought

If you think fighter beams are stupid...don't freakin work on them and don't DL the scripting to USE them.

If you want/like fighter beams...work on it or assist/support those coders that ARE working on it.

Jesus H. Christ flying an Ursa! You ppl ***** and ***** sometimes (lol and a FEW of you used to slam on the SW guys for whining about stupidity for it's own sake)

I mean seriuously...if you see a thread about an idea you hate....WHY go whine and ***** in it? It's not like the second someone codes this effect your FS2 directory will auto-link and begin the download.

Bob...I'm looking forward to trying these effects out later on buddy.

mjolnir fires more or less straight forward, ahve a big range and deal muchos damage. quite a difference no?
