Federation multi-target phasers

posted on June 22nd, 2008, 10:47 am

FO is well thought out for how the Fed's are built,but the one thing that stands out as missing is the Federation's multi-targeting phasers,in almost every show they can fire on more then one ship at a time,even the smaller classes can do this.

It need to be more then one single auto targeting multi phaser to give the effect of two phasers firing while in a fight.

Any chance of this being added for the Fed is a latter patch release?

The problem with this is that since FO has no combat formations, the ships will probably almost always fire from the same array, not seperate ones.

True,it's a matter of how many HPs there are for each phaser aray.

Given the number of phaser emitters for each array on a Federation ship, and the fact most all Federation ships have more then one phaser bank, it is conceivable that a Federation ship could and would fire from multiple emitters on different locations of it's hull.

If multi-targetting weapons are in, have you found a way to stop them firing at neutral planets and ships?
