Please report bugs, missing beams, or beams that create beam holes.
People who have holes in their beams, disable surfaces first in the BSF options before posting here.
Most beams tested fine, both detection & graphical (without surfaces on)
Tested : Some beams color, some don't, or some are very painful, recoloring beams NOT advised.

Interesting... but the red beam has a random red line that appears.

These are really cool, but aren't beams supposed to be in 15-pixel lengths?

Awesome beamzzz are awesome, but I think Slayer is right. Fifteen pixels is the correct length.

It can be any length you want, really, but there's a catch;
Too long, and hit detection gets buggy. Long enough beams have been known to skip clean through sections.
Too short, and beam rendering gets laggy, because it's checking for hits too often.

Someone should make an incredibly huge beam graphic so we can have spotlights.

Because you can't widen beam sprites from in the ship editor. [/sarcasm]

These look amazing! Totally different from anything around now, not even sure what weapons are worthy of them...
The fraxy beam tip with low alpha makes a good spotlight to put behind/over a ship's name, star-trek like.

Yes, light travels through space. But unless your in a particle cloud, or the tail of a comet, you won't see the light beam. So making a spotlight sprite when most battles occur in open space makes no sense.

Screw reality, my spaceship has frickin' lights attached to it.

Observant people will note that the spotlight shines
onto the ship's hull. If there's hull sections there, you can have a spotlight. If you're talking about GenericSS' beam lights instead of the Star Trek example . . . well, yeah. Invoke space-game quasi-reality and roll again.

Yes, well, I can't see the image or video or whatever that was.
