The Retaliator pictures included a concept of the bomb bay loaded with a "retractable beam gun."Later on I heard that beam weapons wouldn't be included in the game because you're not a fan of them. Will there be beam weapons in Star Citizen, and if not, why don't you like them?asked by Beer4TheBeerGod

No, I don't dislike beam weapons. I mean I like the Star Wars sort of laser bolt stuff because I grew up seeing a lot of that in sci-fi, so obviously we have that in Star Citizen, but we're probably going to have some bigger beam weapons. Not necessarily on a fighter craft, but on a big capital ship stuff. We're talking about having that maybe on a spinal mount or maybe a really big ship-to-ship turret. So we will definitely have some beam weapons, but they'll be more for slow moving, whether it's cutting into a hull or something like that, but it won't be fighter based. That will be more the traditional Star Wars side.
