Added code to control a spread factor of the beam, so I can make certain beam weapons spread out at the end.
Currently, only the tractor beam and death beam use this code.

hmm ...
can't you add some code to make the bigger beam-weapons miss their target ?!
so it's nearly impossible to hit a small scout with the huge cl2000&cl1000 beams ...
the cl300 should have the best accuracy, good enough to hit the fast scouts&fighters scouts .. the cl500 would be good against frigates&destroyers, cl1000 & bigger should only be able to hit the big ships like cruisers, dreads & stations ...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! perfect idea, sun. A dread should be hit by all of them, a cruiser by 75% or so, and a fast-moving destroyer ~50%, and so on.
Perhaps make the weapon durations shorter, and if a ship moves more than X radians during the firing, the weapon misses. X would have to depend on class, of course.. a scout at 5gu/sec would be a lot harder to hit than a dread at 5gu/sec
