This mod has not been supported for years, I would be highly surprised if it worked at all. Please check out my "MA WeaponCore Weapons" pack, there are plenty of lasers in it.

does this still work?
Rusted Droid 19 Mar, 2022 @ 2:49pm 
Is this mod able like shoot Combiner with laser turret so that combiner act like laser sink?
Like IR remote?

When WC gets upgrade modules I hope you can add the ability to change laser color, think about the pew pew light show that would ensue :D
AutoMcDonough  [author] 11 Sep, 2021 @ 5:17am 
Yes when WC supports upgrade modules I will be able to implement some type of beam network style upgrades. It's hard to say if it will be identical with the conduits and all, or simply let me separate the power supplies from the turrets. But it will open up my options to do these things.
That said, yes my weaponcore mod currently has all of these lasers and more.

@James Fire
sounds like you didnt understand my last comment so i make it mor elike i would tell it one of my younger siblings:

in moddescription linked version has basic laser weapons (pdx laser, fixed laser, gimbal laser)

in moddescription linked version has no laser generators to build a stronger laser weapon (laser generator, beam conveyors)

hope that this shows more clear what i mean.
James Fire 11 Sep, 2021 @ 3:31am 
No it's not. Auto has very clearly said that will not happen until Weaponcore supports upgrade modules, and it does not.
Abisius Xarvenius Carbensius 11 Sep, 2021 @ 1:44am 
@James Fire
if yo ugo specifically for the part with generators feeding the laser for addictional firepower, then yes. but the basic laser system is there.
James Fire 10 Sep, 2021 @ 11:22pm 
No there isn't. The linked mod does not have the laser system functionality.

@FaolonPlays
thre is a workign verison of it linked in the moddescription.
outgoing from the problems of workign without wc i ssupect that it is unliklly there comes a vanilla based version back to life
Faolon 10 Sep, 2021 @ 10:29pm 
how long before we can get this back?
!Master_Conquest! 12 Aug, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
well there are #3 types of sci-fi laser types I like. Star-Wars/ Battletech/ Star-trek. you have a lot to chose from. so I have faith that what ever you make. I support your tech.
Nirahiel 8 Apr, 2020 @ 7:16am 
Well thanks, If i can get something i'll ask for models from you then if you don't mind ;)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 8 Apr, 2020 @ 5:24am 
i don’t think much of the code would be relevant at all. Equinox is still active on discord so ask him about it. And no pease don’t plan on using these models, the beam network will live again in the MA WC Weapons mod. If you get anything working some new models can be made.
Nirahiel 7 Apr, 2020 @ 7:30pm 
What's wrong with steam chat ? :P
Also okay i'll check on discord, i'm already in so that's fine, if I start working on this, can I use your assets for the existing beam network ? (And maybe the network's code too, that'd get that out of the way and I can focus on making the power transfer)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 7 Apr, 2020 @ 7:17pm 
I can't hold your hand thru this one, I can't program at all. But I will say your #1 resource is the guys on Keen discord.Join discord, start lurking in the modding channels. And also never use steam chat again.
Nirahiel 7 Apr, 2020 @ 6:19pm 
Yeah but it could be as simple as a power consumer on one side and a power producer on the other side. I could look into it if you could point me in the right direction regarding making mods. (Add me on steam maybe ?)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 7 Apr, 2020 @ 5:19pm 
well what you are talking about is transmitting power, different thing entirely. that functionality does not resemble any keen block, requires custom programming.
Nirahiel 7 Apr, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
What kind of script are you talking about ? The whole script to handle all the beam network or just the laser part ?
I could try and do a little bit of scripting, I'm a dev, so it shouldn't be *too* hard, even tho I never actually made a SE mod.
Also any news on making a + version of the smart solar rotor (to go along with the T version, to stack solar rotors on top of one another, separated by 15m poles ? :P)
If you can point me to the right direction, i'd try and do the scripting part
AutoMcDonough  [author] 7 Apr, 2020 @ 2:31pm 
nope! :D
If you find someone interested in writing the script for that then I can assist with models, but I already have too much to do here.
Nirahiel 7 Apr, 2020 @ 12:16pm 
Could you make a version of this with the beam network but no weapon, instead at the end you can have a Laser antenna style block that can send the beam on to a receiver (via GPS data given to the emitter, same as the laser antenna) to transmit power wirelessly ? (I found 2 mods for wireless power, they're outdated and doesn't look like what I want anyway)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 21 Mar, 2020 @ 7:53am 
No. Eventually WC will have upgrade module capability which will let me rebuild the beam network stuff.
Shining Justice 20 Mar, 2020 @ 9:44pm 
any plans to colab with 2cm laser to roll into weaponcore as its not currently functioning?
AutoMcDonough  [author] 18 Mar, 2020 @ 3:54pm 
Ashley40 18 Mar, 2020 @ 3:19pm 
Maybe you should change the status of the mod to WIP? :)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 15 Mar, 2020 @ 11:41am 
in the future some modularity will be restored, but to start just rolling them out as normal laser turrets.
Gryphorim 14 Mar, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
With 2cm's work to make a spiritual successor to MA Lasers, (at least, I think that was the motive) and with their departure from at least the modding scene, will ideas from 2cm's mod make it into MA Lasers 2.0? I liked the way beam-forming networks could be made with open beam paths, feedback loops, pulse-forming capacitor blocks and the larger Ion beam weapon with it's own unique power-building mechanics.
JWA 3 Mar, 2020 @ 9:12am 
Update looks cool. This was one of my favorite mods so looking forward to it coming back!
MEED223 27 Feb, 2020 @ 3:11am 
Looks like a very cool mod, like the idea of weapons having a bit more complexity to them.
Looking forward to the updated version :selike:
AutoMcDonough  [author] 22 Jan, 2020 @ 3:48pm 
Sure here is a teaser of the PDX actually being good at shooting down missiles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCq_pOEg2zU
Titan Nya 20 Jan, 2020 @ 2:14pm 
I'm waiting for this re-release to come back into the game...
Any update?
AutoMcDonough  [author] 26 Dec, 2019 @ 11:57am 
Yes, I am collaborating with CriegWarfare to get these updated using WeaponCore. It will be the PDX, gimbals, fixed lasers, and the new Gladius laser. I would like to make a larger fixed weapon in the near future as well but it will probably not make the initial release.
Inris 26 Dec, 2019 @ 9:19am 
don't working
VS-lockon 20 Oct, 2019 @ 9:05am 
@AutoMcDonough i seen darkstar’s new weapon code to a point all ready but i don't want just turret i would like have a fix main gun at the front of my ship aswell like a had in the screenshot that was the front my ship in the nose as a main gun
AutoMcDonough  [author] 20 Oct, 2019 @ 8:50am 
It is looking like the power supplies will work as upgrade modules do to refineries, will have to be directly connected. So it is less versatile without the pipes, but darkstar’s new weapon code is so awesome that you won’t even care.
VS-lockon 19 Oct, 2019 @ 7:04pm 
the way i can think of making a big main gun for a ship is like cm2 did it have a a block that redirects to beam and still have the binder as well so we can make a main ship cannon i really don't want a super-weapon as long as it can take a shield down over time it fine but i do like my ship have a beam main gun like a had in the past
VS-lockon 19 Oct, 2019 @ 3:44pm 
[The full beam network will not be utilized] main i can't have one cannon run out my whole ship as a main gun i em sad now
VS-lockon 19 Oct, 2019 @ 3:00pm

can't wait till i can this main gun working again @AutoMcDonough
JWA 19 Oct, 2019 @ 8:54am 
That video looks so good. Can't wait for fixes! This was one of my favorite mods.
woostyboy 17 Oct, 2019 @ 1:37pm 
Thank you both! :)
AutoMcDonough  [author] 17 Oct, 2019 @ 9:14am 
I will consider for the re-release. :)
Titan Nya 17 Oct, 2019 @ 8:20am 
@woostyboy There is a mod that have some block that are kinda looking the same called upgradable thrusters, they are offset (they place in the block next to itself visually) and can be a pain to weld/grind but maybe it'll work for what you are looking for...
woostyboy 10 Oct, 2019 @ 12:06am 
Hi Guys. If you get the chance, please could you release the six armour blocks closest to the camera in the main picture as hollow tube blocks in a separate mod? Essentially, the same as they are but just removing the laser? Would be useful for mounting internal weapons and having a sleek looking design on ships and vehicles.

Many thanks for your consideration. :)
Titan Nya 3 Oct, 2019 @ 2:27am 
So Still 2 months to wait... It'll be a nice Christmas present xD

Can't wait! (still haven't used the temporary weapons that i've got while waiting here...)

at the bottom of the description they have patreon links
zataralee 30 Sep, 2019 @ 7:57pm 
Thank you for the response and the work. If there is any way I can support your work please let me know.
AutoMcDonough  [author] 29 Sep, 2019 @ 3:06pm 
maybe 2 months or so
zataralee 29 Sep, 2019 @ 2:57pm 
Any updates on timing? I need this mod back on my server!
AutoMcDonough  [author] 16 Sep, 2019 @ 12:05pm 
Yes, I will have some lasers soon. :)
