Ever fired a lazer while in re-entry?

It's Kinda cool, but I'm not entirely sure it should look like this;

[AntonioAJC]

Re-entry lazors!

[KerbMav]

Use it on a Eve return vessel to burn up and thin out the atmosphere!!!

[Mr_Duke]

Amazing! MOAR lasers!!

[Tw1]

So doing that next time I land something with lazers. Assuming I didn't accidentally blow them up beforehand.

[littlebattler]

oh god

I hope they do AT LEAST double the damage

[Galacticruler]

I doubt anyone will get the reference but... "Cero!"

Looks rather interesting, what compelled you to do it?

[BostLabs]

Now witness the awesome power of this fully operational ... Um.. Spacecraft.

BTW it's spelled laser. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

The word "Lazer" is in reference to the part from Romfarer's Lazor System.

The sunbeam even does that with the targeting beams, though a bit less so. It's funny.

I don't think it should ever not look like that!

Exactly!

They look amazing! It must have to do with the lasers being labeled as an "object" and thus they are affected by the re-entry shader. Maybe the other lazors, like the green lazor won't be affected, as they don't physically collide with anything, as far as I can tell, excluding the Purple Lazor, which may also be affected. So, maybe someone should test all of these out at once, meaning all on the same vessel in one flight, fire them all off by firing the Sunbeam, using all of the guidance and trajectory optimization Lazors' tools, and firing the purple Lazor, all on the same vector so they all experience about the same shading effect. Remember not to block them with things like winglets!

I assume that the Sunbeam is really a physical object is because it collides with things and does damage, so the game must know somehow which way it goes, because that would be much more efficient than having the game do all of the calculations to guess where it's going, as it can't look at the screen like we can, and that wouldn't be as accurate...

Cheers, Naten.

Page two and still no, "Don't cross the streams!" reference? All you need now is a tracking system and a large spinning mirror.
