Weapon fire on fed ships are to big

One thing I knottiest when I played this game is fed ships phaser strips the phaser discharge looks like it will take the front of the ship off.

I purpose making the size of the phaser beams smaller but with a large glow to them. You guys are good with design and I Sherrie can figure out how to do this.

May be you could have one to three different phaser beam sizes.

I concur - some phaser strips just do not quite fit the beam size (such as on the smaller Federation ships), but in general most are pretty nicely sized. 3.1.2 did resize the Klingon, Romulan, and Dominon beams as well

That's because the flare is probably set to glow behind object

It may look to big however shrink it to small and it will be hard to see during gameplay.

thats why the glow is used. And you don't need a huge beam just to see it.

Even if the beam is small, you'll still notice a bright orange glow streaking across the black.

True but in some mods the beams are sized correctly but they are too small and they look bad during a game. So they may look great in close ups but look awful during gameplay. So all im saying is that a happy medium needs to be found.
