Wouldn't it be cool if we could use the double beam bank as a single one? So we have a weapon that has a 90 firing arc as a double beam bank and a 250 arc as a single one. This concept can also be used with cannons of course. It is a combo weapon, two into one. It could be limited to one on each ship for, eh ? eh, reasons, I think.

Would the duel beam emmiter of the Constitution count as the same type of fixed beam array as the Galor, D'D, Vor'Cha etc.?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I think he means that it fires both beams when the target is in the fore arc, and changes over to one, presumably at greatly reduced damage, when it goes to either side. I think if we were looking for ways to make dbb's more useful/powerful, it would be a great idea. Buffing something that is already super popular, on the other hand...
This is exactly what I mean. It would be an enormous buff for frontal fire power. Further it would condemn the single beams to the aft slots, hence I mention a limitation of one per ship.

You're kidding right? Limit cannons to the ships which can't any make good use of them?
