In every game, beams are beams ... they are continuous lasers that start in your ship and ends at the enemy ship "at the same time" if you know what I mean.

Will we have proper beams in the future, or at least, a way to mod these projectile effects to look like beams?

Or am I mistaken @ something?

This has been discussed before an the consensus was that beams be streams, but i am also in the group of also keeping bolts......for my star destroyers.

Beams and the lasers would be both cool things to have not just one of them. This would add more depth to the game

I agree that beams are better but this has been discussed very thoroughly already, I opened the poll for it after the original discussion and there are 300 votes in there: /#/endless-space/forum/29-archives/thread/13664-suggestion-poll-laser-aesthetics

For once I really think this is a finished discussion, the devs will likely take care of it sometime post-release, so we shouldn't have new threads with further discussion about this.
