milshape would only let me save one hardpoint as each name could not do more then one with same name, however cv would, used the akira model, made 4 hardpoints on each side with same name ie hardpoint1 and hardpoint2, put them all along the phaser strip frount to back, and tried it in game, well they only fired from the frist in line of the hardpoints, they never fired from the others, so i guess it does not work in sfc3 , bummer that would of been a neat trick to do.
