I am using Zathras 2.0 version with 3.6.12 exe. How can I disable the ugly premature beam fade effect? Fortulantely, both Freespace mediavps_3612 and Blue Planet mod got rid of it, but Zathras still has it. I read there was a table fix, at least for mvps, but cannot find it. Anyone able to help?

Hasn't that always been in TBP? Or am I misremembering?

Yeah, in TBP beams fade by default and this has been "for ages"...
B5 ships (eg. Sharlin) have more beam guns than you usual FS_Open-mod-ships and it quite frankly is a boon that those beams don't go on and on...

You would have to tweak it for every beam by changing its Beaminfo +Range to a very large number.

I believe TBP has used beam fade ever since it was an option with the SCP. The last time I remember beams not fading was around 2004, the Release 2/2.1 era.
I know if I ever release another campaign I'm probably going to incorporate a custom table that increases the ranges on some of those weapons so the fade effect isn't as noticeable to the player within the usual mission space.
