Summary0009200: Beam weapons sometimes fire the wrong way when near forcefields
DescriptionIn the attached save, going immediately to my shadow destroyer thing (zoom to control group 1) youll note that the spire station is firing in completely the wrong direction to hit anything.

I feel like there is an issue in finding the target's location when the firing object is overlapped by its target somehow.

I havent thoroughly tested it, but im pretty sure it should be fairly easy to reproduce; Just overlap a beam weapon of some sort with the forcefield it is shooting at.

The spire beam style weapons in general are kind of behaving odd when it comes to firing at something that is not a good distance away. Often times, the beam stops at where their target WAS, which is a bit of a problem if they are moving while firing.

For 5.060:

* Fixed a bug where photon lances fired at forcefields overlapping the firing ship could wind up firing in a totally wrong direction.

Thanks :)
