OK its been a little while since I have tried to do any editing in freespace 2 so im a bit rusty... I need to unlock beams in missions so my cap ships will actually shoot them and blast enemy cap ships to hell. Could somebody remind me how to accomplish this?

:confused:

Create an event so that when your ship has arrived, beam-free-all it.

Code: [Select]

$Formula: ( when
   ( has-arrived-delay 0 "GTCv Deimos" )
   ( beam-free-all "GTCv Deimos" )
)
+Name: Beamfree
+Repeat Count: 1
+Interval: 1
+Team: 0

And pick a better thread title next time. :p

If you're using FS2_open don't bother with that. Just click the beam free all by default checkbox.

Worth knowing how to do it manually though in case you want to lock/unlock a ships beams.

I believe it lives in the mission stats editor but I'm not as familiar with FRED2_open as I should be.
