There fore a friendly beam can only nuke you for 30% hull? Theoretically?

BlueFlames · **Reply #61 on:** July 19, 2007, 12:38:50 am

Incorrect. Beams deal an amount of damage (specified in weapons.tbl) several times a second. Friendly beam fire is capped, so that even though something like a BFGreen is set to deal 1900 damage many times each second, it will instead deal 30 (many times each second). For reference, a Hercules II has 275 hitpoints, not counting shields, since they're irrelevant to beam fire.

... Therefore, a BFGreen can kill you if you're caught in its full pulse wave?

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #63 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:22:51 am

Thats not a question, thats a fact

Stormkeeper · **Reply #64 on:** July 19, 2007, 03:26:16 am

Yeah, i know that for a fact too.

Yes, but it won't do whatever damage it says in the table, if you're playing on insane, it will give you 30 damage each split second.

So...

You're defending the Archangel and then a huge beam comes out and vaporizes you. When you respawn you go in and blast the Archangel out of anger.

You might not need to do that at present.... My experience with FSO 3.6.9 is that friendly beam fire damage isn't capped as it should be. Last time I was playing, I took a glancing blow from a friendly LTerSlash, and there wasn't enough debris left to tell if it was my fighter or one of the NTF Herc's. I recall seeing the beam sweeping toward me, and I expected it to scrape a few points off of my hull integrity, while knocking me to the side, but it wasn't to be. Of course, to be sure, it'd be pretty easy to cap beam damage at zero in the AI profiles table, then make a mission with a cruiser and a scripted event for it to fire its main beam at Alpha 1.

Sounds like something that would happen in JAD.

Cruiser: -fires main beam at Alpha 1
Alpha 1: WTF? What did you do that for ?!?!?!
Cruiser: You hurt my feelings.

Unlikely to happen..it only has 4 beam cannons...however, I theoreticly could run into one of it's missiles or plamsa shots...
