Surpressive fire keeps coming up in our discussions from time to time.
There are some technical issues that we would have to overcome first, but it's not a bad idea, and is certainly on the table for discussion.

I like this idea, sounds like a giant space shotgun.

jsut set so weapons will fire in a specific pattern
Say with three beams they will fire continualy along thier firing arc untill the sequence is aborted or completed, hitting the activation key aborts it and you regain manual control, since by then you have found your target.

~I definitely do think this is something to look more into. Like also previously noted, it could definitely help for fragging those infernal scouts that won't stay still with that blazing ECM on.

~Bah. Not everything is available in the scenarios so easily, though, and I don't like gatemodding all the time.

It might be a bit hard, but maybe you could add this to the AI of the new fighters coming out. "Weapon search" or something.
Anyway, love the idea. Though doing it manually is kinda fun too

Suppressive fire? Well I like the idea to detect Kluth that way, but...suppresive fire? WHy should you fire somewhere in space when you can directly fire at the enemy (if he isnt currently hiding behind a planet and you want to show him that it is a very bad idea to fly away from there
