I'm starting to wonder if this isn't possible (yet?) in Starfarer. I'm attempting to make slashing beams for my FS2 mod. For those not familiar, these are beam weapons that aren't aimed--instead, they slash across where you've targeted. The idea is that they are high damage-per-second but because they are difficult to aim it balances them out.
I've tried making beam weapons with variations of values for min-spread, max-spread, etc. Looks like it isn't possible for beam weapons though. Am I missing something, or is this really not possible?
