Size doesn't matter?

IIRC slash beams will always be just as inaccurate no matter how large or how close the target is. Monitor 00:52, 18 October 2008 (CDT)

I think you're right; the only real variables that determined how long a slash beam was on/off target was which axis it chose to slash along and how much target was actually on that path. Target size and range to target didn't have much practical effect. -- BlueFlames 01:47, 18 October 2008 (CDT) (The man who needs to stop editing the wiki at quarter-to-three in the morning.)
Apparent target size from the perspective of the emitter matters, it takes a lot fewer degrees of traverse to run off the end of something at 4km then it does at 500 meters. Size does matter, but distance matters more. Ngtm1r 11:46, 2 November 2008 (CST)
It seems to me that the beam travels faster when it has more degrees to traverse. Monitor 13:00, 5 November 2008 (CST)
