Kroom I second a 1-width Ion Beam. Give it 50% the damage and have it use 60% of the power of the vanilla part and I think it would be balanced. This would make a terrific axial weapon for fighters.

Any firing arc would be awesome, but if you add that, I would recommend lowering the part damage to roughly 30-40% of the vanilla Ion Beam to represent further reduction in beam-emitting hardware in favor of tracking hardware. This would allow for tracking by fighters on fly-by's and the construction of diagonal-axis fighter craft.

Additionally, if you want to really impress people, throwing in a reduced-damage full size Ion Beam turret with a limited firing arc would be a game-changer. This part, assuming it can turn up to 45 degrees, would allow for diagonal beam frigates.

    Kroom not what i meant i mean it holds it its more for looks with the shipyard also maybe it could be somehow it makes repairs cheaper shrugs

                  this is so cool. alexa, play Africa by Toto

                  well i guess this mod gets the right of say to be the first with a fully functioning hanger..... god damn

                    although might i suggest that you have a few larger hangers cause my smallest fighters can barley fit

                        that's an Idea perfect for a reaper
                        speaking of which why is there no mass effect mod?

                          Like changing mass? Abh has that kind of part.

                            I want to add a few more armor parts so... what shapes would you like to have?

                              Kroom I say an Opposite Armor triangle, a Block with a Triangle cut out of the Top, and one that is Curved

                                Kroom ...It's... The Pixel Art... It's... Beautiful...

                                  Sombreroman Thanks!, I'm glad you like it. 🙂

                                    Really nice mod with love to the detail and I wouldn't have guessed that you could even get docking to work so well. Cool hack!

                                    deco mod has that, also Kroom is making it as far as i know

                                        I just want continuous-beam fighters. I've started playing with various kinds of specialist fleets, and fighters that can move around while keeping the heat on a shield would be invaluable. (Right now I tend to work with whatever the longest-range weapons I can find on a ship that also doubles as WACS system for the fleet, using maximally buffed sensors to give us an idea what we're getting into. Then I have up-armored short-range ships with whatever can clear away parts the quickest. The combo is just sweet.)

                                          sounds good
                                          would like to hear more

                                              @Kroom
                                              Hey so, great mod as i said above, now i got a suggestion for the lasers (i love how you can place them behind armor and stuff) for certain fighter it would be nice to have a double sided one (the side lasers but the turrets are on both sides) it would obviously cost more than just 2 lasers as it would be way better. I do not know it it is bossible, so don't quote me on that, it's just a suggesion i thought would be worthy of being here.

                                                Mycroftxxx I'm thinking in doing a Plasma Lance like the one in homeworld 2, is a fixed beam weapon, i'm not sure about a turret version of it though.

                                                Minion222 It's a good idea i will think about it, problably i will do only the laser, neutron and particle version only.
