To make the beam effect of beam cannons thinner I do have to change the width in $section, yes?

That's the visual effect, there's also another field that defines the beam's "physical" width

Okay, problem's been solved. I oversaw that I need an index number when altering via modular tables.

*sigh* tabeling can be so annoying...

IIRC, the "default" width (without +BeamWidth from FSO) is equal to the fattest $section.

That it is, however if you're using modular tables to edit beams you may have to include it if that field is defined in the original one.
