I think the lack of AOE would probably be confusing to players at first, and this doesn't really differentiate itself except for visually. But perhaps for later. :)

Lance, I almost named the new beam mechanic for the Spire capital ship main guns the "Photon Lance" or something like that, and I may yet ;)

:D
Id say if you got it anywhere close to the youtube vid, itd differentiate itself visually well enough ^^

(but otherwise, what about multi-shot beam weapons that all target independently? )

That video is awesome, we just don't have anything like that ;)

But conceptually it's closer now.

Or, perhaps just a rapid fire beam weapon, or like a 3 shot beam one after another, the reload time like current multishot weapons
