It's the CVH for the model that is used.

Can you just have huge cylendrical sprites that overlap eachother as fireed?

I've tried the fast ROF many years ago. The bending isn't really noticable. Also, I guess beams weapons would be on capital ships, which I suppose have a slow turning rate which makes bending even less noticable.

From my memory, the beams looked much better with a fast RoF particule, mostly because it looked like a beam of light instead of looking like a solid object. It creates a sort of change in the aspect of the light that makes it get more/less intense every moments(you can't tell what happens, but see flashes).

I didn't test the beam on miners( not sure why i didn't think about that), but it seemed to work fine on bases. The hit detection problem is a huge issue, but I think that finding ways to bypass it is worth it.

I think that using many separated colored dots on the same particule model could allow you to use less particule(and lower ROF) for similar results. just give them a high spin rate(which should have no effect for hit detections) and I think the result could be interesting.
