Make sure you deactivate the beam mod FIRST, then edit the script.xml file, save it and re-activate the mod.

To increase the damage, find the section beginning "[Munition", and edit the following:

energy_damage = 0 - increase this number to make the weapon do more shield damage.
hull_damage = 16.299999 - increase this number to increase the amount of hull damage (obviously ) the weapon will do.

Also note :
-The Energy Damage takes the number you put in + Half of the Hull Damage.
-Both of these are damage per shot, not per second.

ahh i c , let me try it out, iv tryed it , and it didnt work -.-

Are you modifying the mod itself (the script), or the file the script works upon?

look heres a copy of it
