When you do that they usually lash out at you with a green-colored beam that mauls your sensor subsystem.

Ah Yes. Mace beams. Truly the arch-nemesis of voyeurs everywhere.

Yeah. Seeing as how they're building a whole new line of Aeoli anyway it couldn't be so hard to buff their main weapons.

One thing the SBlue proved: Even buffed SGreens still really suck.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

The GTVA, or at least the Tevs, just don't have an advanced enough beam tech to mount meaningful beam weaponry on cruisers. Shivans, on the other hand...
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Yeah. The Lilith simply can't be matched in terms of raw firepower.

In BP canon IIRC LRed armed Liliths are an exception rather than a rule.

The second most powerful beam in vanilla FS2 is a terran one that's (barely) small enough to be mounted on a cruiser. The GTVA just chooses not to, for some undiscernable reason.

I guess if you completely hollow out the inner workings of a Leviathan and replace everything from the nose, back to were the engines used to bel, you might actually fit an LRBGreen in there.... but you'd have to fit external engines to that thing, so it can move :p

But the only reason the Terrans have anything more powerful than a BGreen is because said BGreen was overcharged. Essentially you're saying they would put a BGreen in a hollowed-out Leviathan, and then overcharge it, which if it even fired at all, would probably make the ship explode immeidately after.
