I play around with Deathstar tests once in a while (never get satisfied and give up from tiem to time). This would be perfect fro that kind of weapon..

    Also was watching Babylon 5 (vioce in th wilderness parts I & II last night) I got all 110 pisodes on  hard drive, anyway.. Epsilon 3 has a super beam like that. Any ship comming too close to planet gts vaporised (actually Ginsued. Like a slash beam from a 5-7 mile deep creavice underground (so to destroy the turrent you have to send a fighter down the trench (artificailly made and reinforced) to blow up the gun. I saw the beam take out three alien battleships in the episode with one slash! It was awesome... can you make it a slash varient also?

  Sci-fi is so cool... :nod:

I used the Earth model and a Gigas in INF to do my own Deathstar test. I made sexps so that the Gigas fires when you press J and the Earth explodes shortly thereafter in a HUGE explosion. Amazing how such a simple thing can be so fun.:devil:

sure just change the number next to beam type to 1 and if you want it to be AAA change it to 3

you might also want to turn the damge up alot if you want it to vaporive ships. Also turn it up for a slash since its  little damage that it does requires it to be constant on its target.

Quick question: have you tried placing the firing ship 60km away and firing on a ship somewhere in the opposite direction?  If memory serves, there is a hard-coded beam length limit in release FS2, and the visual beam will stop at something like 30km.  Seems like my Archangel beam has trouble with that; it cuts off and looks kind of goofy.  I'm not positive about this but I want to say that I've run in to it before.

Otherwise, I like the idea.  Artillary :D

That's cool!

Can I have this for my campaign? I love the idea, and the colour white sort of plays an important part in it....
