Issue with Dual Beam Banks visuals on the Reliant model

edited November 2022 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Not sure if this would be better in the VFX thread, but I wanted to bring up an issue I have with one of my favorite ships. On ships with the Reliant class visuals selected, Dual Beam Banks are shown firing from the torpedo pod on the rollbar/strut/whatever you want to call it instead of the hull. I really love this vessel and want to try out DBB builds with it, but I'm really disappointed with how it looks firing and it makes me second guess my plans to purchase the Bozeman class.

Has anyone else noticed this issue?

    Are you on PC or console? If console which one?

    There are probably supposed to be at least some phasers from the rollbar (for instance their main pulse phaser arrays are in the cylinders right at the port and starboard bends in the Miranda rollbar). The Reliant class itself lacks those cylinders but it does have what looks like a phaser strip on either side of the rollbar pod, those (if they are supposed to be strips) could be what you see firing.

    I considered that, but looking closer the beams are very much firing from the two torpedo holes

    Do you have a forward torpedo launcher mounted at all? Maybe they have it set so if there is no torpedo a DBB takes its place.

    Yep, I do. Mounted two different types of DBBs (normal phaser and disco) to be sure it affected both of them, too. The rollbar just seems to be where DBBs are programmed to shoot from on the Reliant model.
