I have a beam that pierce missiles and use it's "damage target" for some scripted shenanigans. Problem is, if a missile goes through the beam, the damage target swap to that missile rather than the ship/asteroid/fighter that is still being hit just behind. I think it would be more logical if the damage target would always be the CombatEntity hit the farther away from the source (then most of the time that target will be an entity that actually stops the beam).

Hmm - are you sure? I just tested this - with a Sunder with a HIL sweeping up missiles shot by a Buffalo Mk.II - and getDamageTarget() for the HIL's ray never returned a missile. Not even when the missile was the only thing hit; getDamageTarget() only returns a target that stopped the beam (or, more precisely, a target that's not in the beam's pierce set).

Aw my bad. I was using an invisible beam and missed one pierce tag. Sorry about that, I'm rushing a surprise for the tournament's finals but I shouldn't cut corners nonetheless.

No worries, it's all good Looking forward to the next round!
