so i was building a ship and i decided to test something and i dunno if this is already known but 1. the beam cannon only needs one black space for its beam 2. you only need two phantom reactors and around 30 crew to perma shoot its stable beam. heres a module

chief_chaman478 it can almost perma shoot on the burst mode

    this can perma shoot the burst with only one extra phantom reactor

    Known, but I can't fix it. It's not possible to fix.

    It's going to become a lot harder to have beam cannons on your ships in a few updates to come.

    suppose perma burst is op

    Ultranova Known, but I can't fix it. It's not possible to fix.

    i know nothing bout the code but i would have thought its possible to make the beam like a half block wider on both sides but oh well

    Ultranova pls no... also has no-one abused this yet or did ppl instantly figure it out

      Ultranova oh well they know about it now 🙂

        Been using tripple beam with 1-spot hole on my ship for a while, and never considered it a bug.

        It's not a bug, more of a limitation of the beam code, but at least it needs a gap to fire (unlike roof beam turrets)

        Mezmerro Nice ship though. Would it be alright if I put it into the Hall of Fame folder?

        (I kinda need the name for it to put it in there)

        I'm still working out a few kinks with this ship (it needs more rocketspam to distract enemy point defense from EMP missiles), and is not yet satisfied with paintjob. I'd post a finished version here in a day or two.

        chief_chaman478 oh yes one of your reinforced 3by1 armor parts has a glitch where they dont work on mirror mode (as shown above)

          "Creator of the GCW mod (The only large scale mod still alive)" wait, but there's one other mod aside from this...

          oh wait, that mod is considered "absurd" scale, sorry.

          (sorry for this)
