Ion beams are old news. However, some problems prevent a standard beam from stretching beyond a certain distance. Not sure why though.

You only need a refire rate of 0.02 for a beam and speed 1000.

FL doesn't do beam weapons. The best you can hope for is a ****ty long-tailed-high-refire-laser. And whenever you move the gun, the "beam" doesn't track. You can still see the individual shots.

Must admit - drain energy in 4-5 seconds, but drain the titans hull in 5 as well? you just want a beam weapon - sod the ion one - that aint ion at all!!! - hell del cids remove your energy in about 2 shots - ALL energy..............well - dunno about thruster energy - but certainly kill your shields and your ability to fire. Ion wouldn't harm the hull at all.............or shouldn't anyways. Otherwise - no-one would use any other weapons.
