It is possible to put beams on a bomber... I had a GTB Ursa with an AAAf as it's turret... it was kick ass! but it requires you change the flags of a beam to player allowed, and use the beam free all sexp...


I will now put Terslash wanab's on the Ursa... :wickedsmile:

You're insane

This might be more useful to the B5 MOD however. The Whitestar for instance.

ok, you'll need to put the aaaf in the turret's bank..


Where it says

$subsystem: Turret01****
$default pbank: ("aaaf")


and then use the beam free all thing...


and Ice, yes, I am insane... I'm surprised none elsa has done it...

yeah, that'll happen, that's why I changed the aaaf to be thinner, and have a smaller glow radius...

it's fun tho, right?
