    • Phased Beam plug request


      could some one make a quick plug to make the Phased Beam accurate?
      i would if i could but when I try to make a new plug i get hit with some strange
      code of some sort that i just cant understand.

      you see on my Version 1.0.1 of Override if i have 1 phased beam and i fire it goes
      off to the left of my ship so i tried turning my ship so the beam hits the enemy
      but it does NO DAMAGE.
      so i got a second phased beam and now i have the same
      beam going off to the side doing no damage and the other goes forward but still slightly to the left so i still have to turn my ship in order to hit and harm the enemy.
      a draft of what it lookes like: (beams 1+2)
      1
      .1
      ..1...........2
      )==> 2

      forget the draft if it doesnt make sense!

    • That's intended. The phased beam sucks except againest small, slow moving targets, or big slow moving targets.

    • Anatole's right. The beam is meant to be a tad bit inaccurate. As to it doing no damage, however, I believe that was one of a few glitches that were fixed in Override v 1.0.2 You'll just have to download the new one. I have no problem with the phased beam on my version, which is 1.0.2

      (edit -glitches, not plitches!)

    • To fix it so it fires foreward, set the inaccuracy to one. For some reason, if it is at zero, it does that wierd side thing. There are some plugs that do this, but it is bundled with other 'fixes' you may find undesirable. Why not make one yourself and upload it?

      If at first you don't succeed, use more duct tape.

    • And Anatole, it is meant to get rid of pesky azdaras, as is stated in the Igadzra (Igazdra?) missions.
