Quote:Would it be possible to create Shotgun effect weapons? [...] lasers[...]
As I have done some Freelancer modding myself some time ago, I am quite sure it's not possible as a single weapon.
A possible "solution" is to add way more hardpoints to a "shotgun-capable" vessel (or buying the one with the most hardpoints to the front) and once in combat, the player has to click the "fire all weapons at once" button (which IS available to you, just look it up in your keyboard options thingie or whatever it is called right now) ...
Besides, the laser shotgun weapon you're talking about is somewhat more than a light torch, you HAVE to focus a stream of photons/electrons into a beam to cause serious damage to an object. Otherwise, you only have a nice lasershow to impress your combatants ^^
