  Hey @thelata
  
  Sorry to hear that you're having issues with this aspect of the game.
  
  Can you tell me a little more about what's going on?
  
  Do you notice this happening in certain instances, or every time you use the weapons? Have you got the weapons set to auto-fire or manual firing?
  
  Remembering that the Dual Beam Bank (by default) have a 90° firing arc, are the beam banks on target when you're firing your weapons, or is the target outside of the firing arc?
  
  In some circumstances if you are too close to a large enemy (Crystaline Entity) some weapon animations will not show.
  
  If you can provide me with some further information on the issue you're facing, and some steps to replicate, including the weapons you're using or a link to your build on the STO gateway, I can log a bug report with the operations team and we can get this looked into.
  
  
  Thanks!

  Sometimes it's a lag issue. Get a CLR or find a map that isn't laggy/hard on graphics and test it out.

  Thanks for the replies,I disabled a trait called beam barrage and it did the trick only happens on large ships now like the jem hadar dreadnought,it could be adraw distance problem,if I zoom in they show up but still misfire occasionally

  Sorry to shorten you original message "bobsled624", but he may also need to check his FX settings in the "Options" area as well as "Resolution".. I Did have issues where my DBB and DHC's weren't showing but I could "see" my damage numbers rolling up the screen..
  
  An yes.. if you are close to the Entity, and a lot of AOE skills are being used by the team, your graphics may be set to low, or your card may not be able to "render" every thing. I had that problem as well. I was going for Speed instead of looks..
  
  Now.. that 90 firing arc.. It's really only @45 degrees left and right from the centerline of the most forward point of the bow, and the same in the Up and downward firing arc, and for DHC's, (45degree arc) that's only 22.5 degrees.
  
  There's a very good graphic on the Wiki, and REDDEDIT (iirc) that shows this. I looked at it 'cause I wanted to see why my DHC's were so useless on cruisers with a slow turn rate. I hated doing it, but I dropped my DHC's for DBB's.
  
  However. with the R&D and being able to do one ARC DHC.. I may look into that.. // TYVM and happy gaming//
