[General Battuta]

Might have been before the Director's Cut, might be an oversight.

[Gunteen6]

It was way before Director's cut, I theorized just a FRED oversight as those beams are far too vulnerable for the position they are in.

[Droid803]

In the Director's cut, doesn't the Lucifer just jump out if you kill its beams?

[Gunteen6]

The beams are invul'ed in DC... Like they should be. In the first encounter you are supposed to be helpless, in the second it jumps out after a certain amount of time if you fail to destroy either its engines OR its reactors.
