Would it be possible to create a laser cannon that has an electric effect?  Like a bolt lightning type thing?

Already tried it. Very fast white beam cannon looks fine, although it IS a little straight (if you make it fast enough, it's hard to tell, you just see a flash).

um...I don't mean to sound picky but I was leaning towards a primary laser for a turret or a fighter.  those beams really kick ***  though, are they up for dl?

I still use that mod, even today! That was probably the best beam mod I ever saw. Didn't you include the Trinity pack with it?
I'll think of a siggie later..

1. Fighters don't have turrets
2. It'll look like crap if you use it on a fighter
3. Make a white laser with a huge trail and ultrahigh speed. It's not the same at all, but it's fighterizable.

I believe there is a way to use missile trails as fighter 'psedo beams' and I think the cyclops trail looks a bit like a lightning strike.

I think Raven is the bod to ask about the details of this technique.

If I had pics of the fighter-grade electrobeams I'd post them here... let me do a little search and get back...
Probably away. Contact through email.
