Beam Mis-firing (Resolved) :-)
Hey guys, I've been working on a couple beam cannons, but during fredding, the beam is being used to shoot down fighters and bombers.  It's pretty confusing since they are type 0 beams..... :confused:

Anyway, here's the table file:

$Section:

Also, since I'm posting, does anybody know how to correctly index the beam sections?  Every time I edit them, I get an error.

Beam section indexes are only used when you are trying to edit an existing beam weapon, in which case the new data will override the old data.
