Default Modding question

Is it possible to make a beam weapon last longer? To be more "continuous"

Set the duration to match the fire rate?
It may depend on the user's framerate, but some overlap wouldn't hurt.

That would only affect the visual effects, though, right? Not the rate at which damage is done... if you wanted that, you would have to set it to have a really short reload time and small damage, but then you'd run into issues with emissive armor... of course, if you WANTED emissive armor to be especially effective vs. beams...
