I have recently been seeing this (I apologise if this has already been mentioned).
In ground combat, my crew and anyone who is teamed with me has any phaser beams that are fired at them stuck constantly on them. Where ever you go, they follow. Now initially I was okay with it, but as I get further into the ranks and the missions get longer, it is an absolute cats cradle of beams crossed over and under it's becoming impossible to see who's shooting. Only the yellow phaser beams mind, nothing else.
This looks like something that needs Cryptics attention. I hope a fix comes soon, because that glitch would annoy me so much!
It totally sounds like it's on Cryptics side and not a client side issue. Until then make sure you guys have all of your windows updates (I know, DUH *but its all i can think of) And are you all on Windows7 or just Zipstar?
Having the same problem, running a Nvidia 9300m. Currently have 4 phasers sticking out of my character..........looks halarious until i get in combat and they are quite distracting.
I've had this happen a couple of times now, and the entire Badlands mission I was in yesterday (which was bugged and can't be completed, but thats beside the point) had the phantom phaser beams attached like glowy umbilical cords to my characters. I raised a ticket for it, but I can't point to a specific set of circumstances that trigger it, its pretty intermittent.
I believe it happens if you are interupted while the effect is in place - it never gets cleared. All kinds of beams do this, plus things like tachyon harmonics.
Right Click on your armor (of your boffs') and toggle on/off "Show on Costume"
This 'resets' the graphical mesh of the affected avatar, eliminating the beams shooting off into nowhere. Not a REAL fix to the error, but it gets them off of your screen.
Ive seen that happen before. A couple weeks ago, but the guy said he couldnt see the beam. Had it happen to me once, lasted till I was killed. Wish I thought of turning off Show Armor.

This "fix" worked for me.
After, doing fix however ... every battle (in badlands) had this issue. So you have to take all your equip off of everyone on your team and then put it back on. VERY ANNOYING

Try disabling Dynamic Lighting maybe.
Are you using the new 10.2 catalyst drivers? If so, try rolling back. If not, try upgrading to them.
Try turning off/on every setting possible.
And the game still tells me I need to update my drivers when I am running the latest Quadra drivers.

I have a 64bit Vista OS and a EVGA GeForce 9800 GX2 SSC graphics card.
I think you're right, had it only with phasers though.
I only get this when fighting the Cardassian also.

I use a HP Paviilion Laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS.
Please fix this.
