The player has no control over the beam. They target the ship they want to hit and when they bring it into view, the beam cannon will fire. They can control the guns.

Beam cannons are not player controllable. Except the Targeting Laser but it does wacky things.

I already said, players cannot control beams. Its as simple as that.

The turret model is a 90% should work thing.

It certainly would be interesting to try out a Hel'te'zha in an unofficial mission...

Yeah it works on FRED like Edwin said, but why to use that way when source code is modifable.

And if used by FRED there would be bunch of questions for FREDers (again) about how you can make beams fire
