I thought about making a larger object for an anti-capship railgun, but got caught up in my other projects

No, these are ideas - to see what people would respond well to. Theres no point in making a beam if everyone just thinks "oh no, not another beam".

Well, there's plenty of stuff in the tbls you can play around with. And various parts of the FS2 graphical engine that can be exploited to mimic new stuff. Like your rain beams... why don't you bring them out?

I've done a basic shell / mass driver cannon thingie, it's at http://uk.geocities.com/gunnery_control/downloads.htm (contains shell.pof, test mission, and copied weapons.tbl)

It's used for missile turrets only, though.

It's not great, the explosions, sounds etc need sorted out properly, but anyone who wants to play around with it is more than welcome

Well, here's one... You know the upgraded energy weapons from Cataclysm? (for those that don't- a big red blob of energy that homes in onto it's target)
I made one of those, except blue... although I can change that, and will when I get the chance. It's really meant for turrets on capships, but I have come up with a convincing excuse to have it as a secondary weapon on a fighter  
 I'll see if I can track down some pics, if anyones interested.

You bastard! You stole my idea from VBB!
I asked a month or few ago if that kind of weapon is possible (homing energy weapon like in Cata) but they said it was impossible!   Mesa no like

It aint a primary, I tried that and got the same as everyone else.
 I dunno what to say really, I'm pretty sure that thread is what started me trying to make it, but it's taken me a while... f**kit, I'll send u the files if u want and u can finish it off. But I warn you, I need to use it in my mod.
 Besides, aint your idea, it was cataclysms... and before u ask, yes I do have it

The homing plasma?  Yeah, I tried it...found a primary didn't work, and didn't really feel like going to the trouble of making a secondary.

I don't think anyone mentioned this one already...

Rapid-fire beams. They power up, and then Launch off about forty beam pulses...in a matter of seconds. The machine gun of beam weapons.

Make them slashers for a REALLY interesting effect.

And that doesn't  work.

however I found out some rather cool stuff.

1) It looks great as a slash beam.
     

2) YOu can use the warp map as an animation in the beam powerup effect. w00t!

Personally, I like the look of the shieldhit ani as a warmup.  It's simply a white ball, not all weird like a warp map and better than a yellow bal.

can animations be used for textures like beam textures, and warmup glows.
