Xenon Corvette
After much marine training and practice I finally capped a Xenon PX.
Straight away I fit it with Fusion beam cannons on the main guns.
I then go out to test it.... annnnnd I'm blind.
Firing the FBC basically white-outs the entire screen, especially if you use the fight command mk2 switched on.
Can someone on the team tweak the size of the beams down a bit thinner please? Plasma beams seem ok, thin and yellow, but the split and terran beams are huge and very white, a little colour variation would be nice too please
Thanks

Re: Xenon Corvette
The same problem happens if you put FBC on the Kogarasu Maru. You can't see anything, so its unusable.
The Khaak corvette is also troublesome because Kyons are beams, and it seems all its weapons are in a circle around the cockpit.

Re: Xenon Corvette
Yeah it's a common issue with most of the beam weapons except the PBC ... It's part why it's a nice weapon and the rest are total craps (try full PALC on pteranodon lol), they makes you blinds and severely hinder your computer performance.Chull wrote: ↑Fri, 18.

There was a mod for AP that was changing the models of those beams to be more like the PBC, saving your FPS and your eyes, i don't really understand why they did not take it or did something similar.
Re: Xenon Corvette
Its funny you mention the Pteradon with PALC, as I have one of those with all 28 beam weapons, BUT I haven't flown it myself, I have been using it as "muscle on call" for when I need help, shame it effects a big ship like that too I had hoped it was because the PX was small that it was blinding me. Guess I'll have to stick to plasma beam cannons only, are the Tri-beam cannons bad also?Midnightknight wrote: ↑Fri, 18.

Re: Xenon Corvette
In AP, I had PALCs on the Pteradon's turrets and PPCs in the fixed mounts for combat. That was more effective than PALCs in the fixed mounts.
I did put PALCs in the fixed mounts if I wanted to cap a Valhalla that had anti-boarding systems. That gun is like a super Ion-Disruptor in such situations.

Re: Xenon Corvette
I never put PALCs in main battery, but the left and right turrets can shot forward. Get inside your pteranodon and you will understand lol. When they are firing forward its not for epileptic people.Jimmy C wrote: ↑Fri, 18. Jun 21, 18:05In AP, I had PALCs on the Pteradon's turrets and PPCs in the fixed mounts for combat.

Re: Xenon Corvette
I have. That's the only way to control it properly when trying to strip the Valhalla of its anti-boarding systems.Midnightknight wrote: ↑Fri, 18. Jun 21, 20:00I never put PALCs in main battery, but the left and right turrets can shot forward. Get inside your pteranodon and you will understand lol.
