Freelancer Beam FX Testing

One of Freelancer's great conundrums is the lack of any proper beam weapon. I've never actually tried to make a beam weapon myself, so I decided to try it out. I know a beam weapon cannot be done right, so I decided to see how close I could get to making it look like it's done right. It is very heavily based off of Freespace 2s beam weapons.

Before anyone gets too excited, much of this has no real practical application. It is mostly an effects exercise. In order for this to work properly, I'm actually using three separate guns.
