I have two little things here that would be good. Even if you didn't use this in BWO, I'm hoping I should be able to create to these.
1)A fighter with a rear Hard Point.
2)A bomber with a rear Beam Cannon.

And if you think I'm on Krack? Well yes...

Bomber with a beam is hard to do because then beam free's would have to be activated and so on.

Rear primary is probably impossible to do, but even if it was so, it'd look really stupid and you'd never hit anything with it.

a rearmounted primary wouldnt look silly and its main purpouse isnt to shoot down the one hunting you, its meant to keep the Soa shivan from your back long enough so that you can either drop your payload or some of your squadmates could assist you by removing the threat

It's purpose is what g2megatron said, not to kill somebody, just, if you haven't noticed that the enemy does try to dodge on coming nose fire, to scare him off so you could makje a strafing run or till you could swing around and hit him with the front lasers. And if you were to hit him you would most likely cause damage since the weakest point in the shields are in the front.

I tried to put beams on a turret on a bomber. They seem to not work unless the ship has "cruiser", "Capital", or something in the flags... And I don't think you can pilot it if you do

BTW, don't fly a Sathanas, I did... It sux0rs

Well, just put it as a nonplayable. I would think twice about attacking an Ursa when a beam shoots out its @$$. lol

If a beam shot out of my @$$, I would be all like:
Hey you! Beam! I don't take kindly to your types around here!
And someone would be all like:
Now Snipes, it aint hurtin' anybody!
And I'd be all like:
No! I wanna know something! If you are comprised of light and all, being a laser, why do you have a range?
And the beam'd be all like:
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!

we're all on crack...

i think just putting some turret on the butt-end of a bomber would help alot during one's runs...

i'm planning to just try to use FRED2 to let me fly the Sathanas...do i actually get to use the massive beam cannons?
