Summary0023245: Modded game only - UI description contradictions.
DescriptionOkay, this is seriously esoteric, but:
Using the following modded weapon on a ship:
            <system name="Railcannon2" display_name="Spire Railcannon"
            category="Weapon" firing_timing="OnlyInRange"
            damage_per_shot="6000" range="EssentiallyInfinite" shot_speed="VeryFast" rate_of_fire="Normal"
                    shots_per_salvo="10" fires_salvos_sequentially="false"
                       shot_type_data="HeavyBeamInvisible"
                       beam_length_multiplier="1"
            >
            </system>
The in-game description will contradict itself: The point beam section will say it hits only it's target, but the multibeam section will then say a single target can be hit by multiple intersecting beams. As far as I am aware there are no multi-shot point beams in the vanilla game, so this is mod only.

As I say, very esoteric. I'm not entirely sure why I'm bothering to report it. :)
TagsNo tags attached.

You mean the part about a single target being able to take damage from multiple intersecting beams (as seen in the screenshot)?

Exactly. (And thanks for the screenshot, should have done that myself.)
