Indeed, I had huge problems when FREDding once when I wanted lots of debris around an Arcadia (specifically, a destroyed Lucifer, a destroyed Colossus, a destroyed Ravana, and a destroyed Hatshepsut), only to find that every. time. it. would. almost. instantly. die.

Some people are like Slinkies.  They aren't really good or even useful for anything but they always manage to put a little smile on your face when you give them enough of a push down the stairs.

I've had problems with custom beams targeting fighters, even if they were intended for capships...

... copy-pasting the table entry from the SGreen and modifying appearance and stats from there fixed it.

Well look at that, I have been always sure that beams are more likely to shoot at you if you are between the primary target, seems like the IA tries to destroy you and at the same time hit the target with the remaining of the volt.

Avoid the beam and you won't get hit, pilot.

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

I've seen a BGreen shoot down one of my torpedoes when there weren't any other targets in its firing arc. Lucky I wasn't in the way.

That's been fixed, it used to be a well known issue in certain 3.6.10 nightlies.

I once got taken out by the Lucifer's main beams.  I was charging it as it attacked the Galatea, and I launched a bomb... ZAP!

Random question - is 57% about average for Enif Station in that mission or did ShivanSPS do unusually well/poorly? It's been ages since I played it, and I don't recall exactly how hard it gets hit.

Getting hit by a capship beam is one of the most frustrating FreeSpace deaths around. I recall in Bearbaiting, when I would shoot out my remaining Trebuchets and Akheton's against the Demon, but suddenly got zapped by the LRed before I could speed away.
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Then why do I still see it with current 3.6.13 Nightlies...
Of course it isn't a problem when it's an ally ship blasting Shivan bombers because of it... :p

It seems that the fix is in AIProfiles, I don't know why.
"Huge" weapons were not supposed to target bombs last time I checked.

Probably because it's Retail behavior.
