The best way to fix this, imo would be to make a special type of laser that renders the way beams and missile trails are done. The x and y axis stay the same, but the z axis always faces you.

Another way to do it would be to use intersecting planes, as some games do, like Tachyon: the fringe. Apparently that's how they did it in B5, too. It won't look as good as with sprites, but it'll fix the folding problem. I would recommend doing it the first way, though.

Theres absolutely no need for stuff like that.

The fix is really VERY easy - The guys over at Volition simply didnt have all the nice SCP goodies I can use for turret weapons.

When I'm done with them there shouldnt be any visible folding whatsoever.
