I'm pretty sure though that only if you're lucky once it get's past those shields it only hits one room. As for the Magnetron Beam, the time the beam is in contact with the shields is what determines how many shields it drops, so I bumped the speed way up and I think I got it to a point where it won't just rip all the shields and the hull to shreds without any effort.
As I've stated, it's been a while since I've seen an ion beam (last one beeing on the Hooker from TaxiService) so if testing shows it's all right, I'm fine as well with it.

You know... I actually mentioned it looked like the way it worked in red alert 2 during the showcase
.Maybe just do something with the lights on the mount itself then? It sort of looks unfinished if you compare it with say the prism laser.
