Babylon 5-type energy beams?

Is it possible to edit the game so that you can have energy beams similar to the ones that are in Babylon 5?

ie. they are a coherent *straight* beam from point A(ship) to point B.

it would be a very powerful weapon, since you could aim it anywhere you would like and it'd instantly be pointed there... (unless it has a slow *turn-rate*, since it can only shoot where the turret is aiming, having the turret spin very slowly would make it a more viable and less über-weapon.

... do-able?

no worries.

It is doable, and indeed has already been done in many mods. They're generally called phasers, but they're exactly what you describe. If you want them, I know FMA has them in.

arigatou.

I'm gonna try and see if I can't incorporate them into TNG somehow, for my own personal amusement =^_^=
the Shadow ships look far better with their original armament, than with water-hoses.

no worries.
