SGreen
Small Green Beam is a beam used by the Terrans in the Freespace 2
Description
Basic Terran anti-capital ship beam weapon
Veteran Comments
The SGreen is statistically one of the weakest beam cannons in the game, however, because of the unpredictable nature of "slash" type beams such as the TerSlash there are those who belive this is superior. The biggest fault of this beam is the 45 seconds between shots, so if one misses, then the ship that fired it just had a huge problem, as it can't defend itself for anouther three-quarters of a minute. The SVas and SRed are simply lightyears ahead of this weapon. This beam has the dubious distinction of having the lowest sustained damage of any anti-warship beam.
The Terrans would do well to scrap this piece of junk, but another Fusion Mortar wouldn't be much better.
The Relative inferiority of the smaller Terran Beams to thier Vasudan equiivalents may be explained by them being physically smaller and easier to mount, Terran Capital ships consistantly mount more anti warship beam weapons than their Vasudan (or indeed Shivan) equivalents
