Full Spread Phasers Full Spread Phasers

This is kind of a neat idea, as seen in the VOY episode "Dragon's Teeth". This weapon allows any selected Federation ships to deliver full spread phasers. Now, I know what you might be saying-- I've seen multi-targeting stuff before. How is this any different? It works as a special weapon to enable all the phasers to separately select targets and go for it.

Now, I would imagine you'd have to have some knowledge of your selected ship's phaser hardpoints otherwise you'll be firing phaser beams out of the engines and torpedo tubes and bridge and.... just out of everywhere. However, people are always looking for ideas for new things that can be done with weapons, and this is one example of how much still remains to be squeezed out of this game.

Worth a look.

Cool

Odd I followed instructions yet I can't get it to appear on one of my ships... I got it set up in tech tree; I equipped it to a ship; I got all the necessary files in their proper places; I got it set up in guiglobal I wonder what is wrong...

Sorry for the doublepost but I figured it out for some reason weapon changes or additions don't affect loads of saved games before the addition
