Yeah but is neat though. I never grow tired of Freespace so much you can do with this game.

Open source has helped somewhat.....

that's not what he's talking about. there is a static amount of beam weaponry that is allowed to be used at a time

[Singh]

ok. so this limit is at ~400 beams, correct?

[Falcon]

Who would want 400 beams goin off at the same time 1 to 10 are good enough but anything above that would ruin the whole game and make it unbalanced. Plus cause some serious eardrum damage.

You ever seen Omniscraper's recreation of the "Sacrifice Of Angels" DS9 fleet engagement?

A last stand weapon, blow out your disrupter banks in one BURST!

nice effect could be tweaked to have a more "usefull" purpose to it... if it is tweaked right... but blowing off 200-to-the-10th power- beams in every direction is like just .... whoa... lol...

I did something like this awhile ago but only as a "3 shot" beam weapon, i applied AAAF atributes to the BGREEN beam and up'd the refire rate so that way it will bang-bang-bang the ship (3 beam bursts rapidly) like an AAAF beam (type 3), and do a good deal more damage than a steady stream of the original. sorta like a mjionoir... the way u made this weapon seem as if it should be on a gatling like weapon. which would be kinda cool... like the one off the orion type 2;s nose...

Bumping this thread from the grave, sorry.

I decided to try my hand at photoshop:







And here is the beam texture itself; free for anyone's use (provided credits are given ofc)

comments and suggestions for improvement?

Those actually look pretty good!

But the beam glows need a bit more definition

That beam glow is actually the default warpglow

Im working on better beam glows as well.....assuming I can get some better photoshop skills and time
