[Phoenix-D]

Torps and Bolts (DUC, etc) have the same general format- a sprite is displayed en route to the target, with as many frames of animation as you like. Torps home in either instantly or with a set turn rate. Bolts fly straight to their target (neither miss).

Beams connect from the firer to the target, doing damage for the duration of the beam. They also have an arbitrary number of animation frames, and can miss.

All three have a speed rating. For bolts and torps, its how fast the shot travels. For beams, its how fast the tip of the beam travels.
