Description

Beam Fire Controls are used to target beam and kinetic weapons. Fire Controls need an active sensor contact to lock up a target.

Usage

Beam Fire Controls are essential for using any kind of beams. A single FC can control any number of beam weapons. The accuracy of the FC drops linearly over its range, thus a FC with more range than the weapon it controls is still useful. For tracking speed however the lower of value of the FC and the weapon is used.

-==Beam Fire Control==
+==Description==
-This installation is used to control beam weapons.
+Beam Fire Controls are used to target beam and kinetic weapons. Fire Controls need an active sensor contact to lock up a target.
-===Components===
+==Usage==
-The components for Beam Fire Control are Beam Fire Control Distance Rating, Fire Control Speed Rating, Fire Control Size vs Range, Fire Control Size vs Tracking Speed, Hardening, Platform Type, Ship Type Limitations.
+Beam Fire Controls are essential for using any kind of beams. A single FC can control any number of beam weapons. The accuracy of the FC drops linearly over its range, thus a FC with more range than the weapon it controls is still useful. For tracking speed however the lower of value of the FC and the weapon is used.
-===Beam Fire Control Distance Rating===
-This rating determines the range at which the beam will be at 50% accuracy. Values are 10,000km, 16,000km, 24,000km, 32,000km, 40,000km, 48,000km, 60,000km, 75,000km, 100,000km, 125,000km, 150,000km, 175,000km.
-===Fire Control Speed Rating===
+==Components==
-This determines how fast the fire control can bring the weapon(s) to bear on the target. NOTE: The final speed rating is determined by ship speed or turret speed. Values for this are 1,250km/s, 2,000km/s, 3,000km/s, 4,000km/s, 5,000km/s, 6,250km/s, 8,000km/s, 10,000km/s, 12,500km/s, 15,000km/s, 20,000km/s, 25,000km/s.

-These two items are very similar in that the player may reduce or increase the size of the installation for a bonus (or penalty) to the Range or Tracking Speed.

-===Hardening===
-This is the same as the Hardening on Active Sensors/Missile Control.
-===Platform Type===
-This is a switch for Ship or PDC installations. PDC installations have the range increased by 50%.
-===Ship Type Limitations===
-This is used to determine if the installation can be emplaced on any ship, or fighters only. Fighter only installations have the base tracking speed multiplied by 4.
