I hope this is a single player thing or you’re only having fun because this will probably kill any server and send all the clients into lag hell

Nah, see them as extra added effects, jumping players and NPC’s

Arent those just the standard justice mk 1 effects with just an insanely short refire value? lol

Doesn’t that also come as standard with at least a couple of versions of FLMM as well? Ha, that advanced beam weapon

It wouldn’t send my client into lag hell … quad core 2.4GHz, 3GB Ram, 768mb Geforce 8800 GTX Haha

It would; you could have a supercomputer, it doesn’t matter. It’s Freelancer’s coding that will get crazy as it tries to calculate thousands of projectiles, most likely inducing lag on both the server and the client as the server tries to crunch through those numbers, therefore delaying communication with the clients.

FL was never built to support that much stuff…

I did do a beam weapon once but it was single projectile, custom beamspear, it was the asgard beam weapons from stargate, moved fairly slow streaking across space, ripped apart everything it touched, lost those along with my daedalus cruiser I had coded up from scratch, had railguns and missile turrets and everything

that sux, I would have loved to see Stargate ships in action

Friendly Fire had a play with it once I believe, as did Lancer Solarus when he was helping me with hardpoints
