Couldn't you copy/paste some of the stuff from the beam code? And while you're at it, add chargin capabilities to fighterbeams:D

I assume you don't mean Turok's fusion cannon. The one that was basically a small, shoulder-mounted nuclear bomb launcher (with cool photon-torpedo style glowy bits)...

He's talking about one of my least favorite weapons. The fusion cannon in Descent 3. They can be deadly for those who can use them well, but I could almost never hit with the thing. Especially since at about full charge or so your ship starts shaking like crazy and if you keep charging it damages your shields. Ought to get back into playing D3 one of these days.

Well if D3 can do it, surely FS can do it, right?

anyone played Descent 1/2/3?  copy the way they have their fusion cannon, you charge up to a certain point when you start to take damage.

-never mind  saw someone already suggested that

I love the Fusion cannon in D3, I use it ALL the time.  Once you get the hang of it you can easly pull in 200-250 kills per hour with that gun in small levels.  I think my record is 300 something kills per hour.

If you think the way Fusion shakes your ship is a pain in D3, dont even try it in D1, the ship turns and twists and becomes almost completely uncontrollable even to someone experianced.  The D3 Fusion shake is so easy to control a newbie could do it.

i'm an old school D1 player.  D1 is still THE BEST in the entire descent series.  I used to play using keyboard only.  The fusion isnt all that hard to control even with keyboard only and you don't need to charge it up all the way to kill someone.  It's got a large projectile radius too

Got D1 got D2, got all the freespace I can find!!!
never liked the fusion cannon, it seamed to deal litle dmg compaired to the energy it uses.  Far far less them my fave the gaus cannon, my best is probly about 5 kills with one shot using that bad boy.  or just high level lasers, faster cheaper stronger, whats not to like?
