Looking for a beam weapon mod

[boxleitnerb]

Hi all!

I would like to equip my own cap ships (possibly modded) with beam weapons. Near instant-hit beams like the ones in Freespace 2, Babylon 5 or such. Is there a mod for this?

Hi boxleitnerb,

Our Mod offers beam weapons for some capital class ships and many others. DDTC plays along in the background and if you don't want its features it wont mind. Other than the occasional message when you reach a high enough rep with one of the factions you won't be bothered by it.

There is a special station in one sector which offers missions and as a reward a crate of rnd weapons/wares is spawned near by. You are told before the missions start what's in the crate so you can if you wish refuse it and wait for a better one to come along.

As an example my last two mission netted me 4 Beta Kyons and 2 Tri Beam Cannons.

You can find the mod here http://forum.egosoft.de/viewtopic.php?t ... sc&start=0

Tri beam laser or Phased Array Laser

Which game are you playing: TC or AP? There don't seem to be any AP-compatible mods out at the moment (only scripts).

But for TC you have AWRM and XRM. They both make beam weapons (more widely) usable in the game, but note that they also come with a multitude of other changes. AWRM modifies all weapons and add s a few new ones, and XRM rebalances everything in the game from ships to lasers to missiles.

Terran Conflict.

Now I'm torn between XRM and DDTC...I wouldn't mind additional changes if they improve gameplay.

AWRM modifies all weapons and add s a few new ones

Not quite true ...
AWRM

• alters Vanilla beam weapons so their balance is the same in both player and AI hands
• adds Enh/Adv versions of various Vanilla weapons (inc. Beam weapons)
• adds several new beam weapons to the Terrans for all craft from fighters to capital ships
• adds shield-damage only PSG type weapon to the Terrans (will destroy missiles/boarding pods though)
• adds several new missiles including a couple that can be classified as WMD

Overall 63 new lasers are added v. the vanilla selection of 36 (inc. those not widely available). It can however be combined with CMOD which does change the Vanilla balance/weapons.

The main issue with AWRM is the spawning of lasers/missiles on spawned vessels but this is in part resolved by using EES (developed by Litcube and myself).
