Are you planning an update to some of the EA ships?I've noticed that EA capitals main guns fires only forward.Thought I'm not very sure about this...

Is there any hope that we could get B-5 with defence grid? :robot:

    Ehm, what do you mean especially. IMHO the beams of the EA ships are correct - they only should fire forward,shouldn't they?

    In the end of "conflicts of interest" where Ivanova is showing to Sheridan a record where omega is destroying transports you can see that the forward main guns must be moving.it's really hard to explain but this is one excample which proves that omega destroyers main guns are working just like the turrets.personaly I think that ship would have a less reaction time if the main guns wouldn't turn up and down so it would be also more vunerable.

    I know what you mean - I remember that episode. However, due to the limitation of EOC game engine beam weapons can only fire directly forward. We can simulate tracking beams by creating "beam turrets" that really fire pulse weapons. These have various problems so we'd rather not have them as the primary beam weapon. Omega forward pulse cannons can fire up and down although not much since the firing arc is currently set at 25 degrees.
