What's up with the big ass, ugly power beam in the new pre release 0.200.269?
Now the empty space we have to have in our ships isn't even usable for interior rooms.
Not to mention the 20% drop in framerate.

there are node blocks that can redirect the beam so it doesnt cut through rooms but other than that yeah what is up with them.

Just the devs implementing things without thinking about them for more than 5 seconds. Business as usual.

It was even worse in previous dev builds(specifically dev .262), due to a buggy implementation, FPS went through the floor into the basement and remained there(right down to 1FPS slideshow). Schema himself fixed it ASAP and now the game is at least playable on most computers.

It's a bandaid on a broken system that isn't paticually effective

Dude, its a pre-release on the dev build of an alpha game.

Of course its going to be screwy. If you don't like screwy, stick to the official release builds.
