basically i m currently while learning to mod and freed in FSO working on that shippack of startrek with the tables and other stuff to make all the ships flyable, getting the lacking tech info complete, setting weapons and such on a sort of more balanced level and making the ships to be balanced when compared with the ships already in game ( so a fighter dosnt rapes a colossus in 3 seconds) but while working on that i keep constantly VERY often being bugged with the fact that whenever  i use a ship with beams on it, i have to manually set on freed for that very specific mission, that when true beam free all alpha 1, for every mission and for those ships that are on the same squad, and this is getting sorta tiresome, also sometimes i have noticed a ship will just plain out stop firing its beams, also is there any way to get gun convergence or autoaim to work on fixed beams ?

sorry for the big block of text...  i m not used to forum posting...

In the mission specs dialogue, there's a "All ships beam-freed by default" option. I suggest you use it.

however this would mean i have to lock other ship beams right? and well this sorta is a workaround that first issue, what about the gun convergence for fixed beams on fighterlike ships?

Either you will have to beam-free a number of ships in each mission, or you have to lock beams on a number of ships in each mission. There's no magic "figure out which ships should be beam-free for me" command, and there never will be.

No, Beams do not use gun convergence settings at the moment. This will be added at some point though.
