Summary0004060: beamlasers is not fully rendered when emitting unit is out of los
Descriptiontested with ba svn and -1357
Steps To Reproducestart spring.exe, /give cordoom to gaia outside of your los, then /give corraid somewhere in your los and walk it towards the cordoom.

the first cordoom shot will show the blue impact on the corraid but wont draw the beam. as the corraid gets closer eventually the beam will also be drawn.

Additional Information(in 94 it always draws al of the beam)

i tried to take a screenshot but it was too quick for me...

semi-intentional: the position of a BeamLaser projectile is its point of emission now, not halfway along the beam which affects the LOS check

hmm, well i liked the old behaviour better because i with some beam colours & units the ceg of the beam impacting is not especially visible.

but its definately best that the emit point is correctly placed & if its alot of work to re-implement the old visuals then close this & don't bother.

Possibly all projectiles should do two LOS-checks (one for pos and one for pos+speed which in the case of beamlasers would be the endpoints), not sure yet.
