oh man, you havn't seen (or heard) anything yet  
I would say the SOL beams are cool too but you wouldn't know anything about them,

MT has some VERY cool beams though, they have a totaly diferent look to them than any other beams made so far.

I agree - MT has some really sweet looking beams in there that just haven't been beaten yet IMO.

Except....... they look flat in game.  Because they're only one layer.  It doesn't sound like much, but you can tell.  Too bad we can't make animated beams, more's the shame.

It looks quite neat in screenshots though.

[Zeronet]

SOL Beams?! I was under the impression that they didnt have beams.

[Bobboau]

they developed there own beams resently and they arn't as good as the GTVA beams but they do have beams

yea but if u think bout it, anyone with some artistical talent in 2-d can make beams look like those. if any has seen the texture for that beam, it is probrably like drawn like lighting across the field rotating in a swirl close togeather and when seen in the game it is stretched giving it this pulsing electro look. other then that its nice.

they do look cool. it be hot to add a electrical ANI around the beam like the ones that zapp around a damaged ship. that would add a nice effect!

that would be cool to use an ani for the beam itself  
btw, the zapp as you say isn't an ani, it's a 3d wireframe thinguy (tm)
