I was thinking, without having to deal with powering thrusters, and atmospheric-entry shielding, I think that Beams could be more heavily-powered. What do you guys think?

don't think so: in a fighter, when you redirect all the energy to weapons, they're not more powerful, you just have power that comes faster

[DragonClaw]

So maybe the same type of beam could be maintained for a very long length of time?

maybe

I would also tend to agree with that to a certain extent, but maybe with more power available, power hungry setup's unsuitable for other use could be used.

The Big C shunted additional power to her guns, and made them more powerful.  You just can't do that in a fighter because Freespace wasn't made that way for fighter guns.

Therefore, you can make more powerful beams.  Also, having more power directed to weapons means that you could just power a bigger gun.

Ahh but do you think they could have multi-shot abilities like in the render I made? Having multiple beams coming out of one charge?

If it had multiple emitters in the one gun, sure...

The clouds need a little work, but overall it's very good

Looks real pretty, but you should light those Manticores so they fit in with their environment

Look at the Manticores, and then look at the mountains behind them - the atmosphere in between us and the land makes the land appear bluer. We don't even get a hint of that blueness with the Manticores, which would indicate that the Manticores are very very close to the camera/viewpoint - which they're not, because they're too small
