this sounds like a possible source code project where you can add a "tile repeat length" value to the weapons entry for beams, how hard does that sound bob ?

specal build- fighter beams cycle once every .1 seconds from one point to the next, just a simple test to see if this code would work in the final version it'll be controled by a flag or some other table value and will work on normal primarys as well

Cool stuff Bobboau. That would be invaluable....not only in letting us fire double barreled turrets at the same time...but also with the beams and a variety of effects.
