Can you folks fix the firing animation of the Fusion Caster? Like change it to fire lasers instead of missiles.
Its supposed to be a futuristic laser weapon thingy, like the Minotaur HERC. The description even says "fires particle accelerator cannons".

Interesting finding, unfortunately I don't think it's a good change for Unofficial Patch. Even the minimal weapon modification can change the game balance, which we want to avoid. Changing from missiles to laser would make this unit quite buggy (the same as it is with HERCs that fire lasers), more limited by terrain height changes, or frequently blocked by other units in front of it. The only solution would be some new missile that looks like laser, but it's hard to make and won't look as good as original lasers. Besides that, every laser is bugged in EE2: AOS due to some lighting system changes, so Unofficial Patch added fixes to make it look more like original one, but it's still not the same.

Let's see opinion of other users. Maybe someone will leave their thoughts in this topic. I also read some time ago that the Paladin air defense in epoch 15 should also fire laser, but maybe I remember it wrongly.
