these aren't stars ...
it's because the beams consist of sprites ...
their positions looks like an X from the start/ end
so it looks better from the side

They use Xs to create the beams. For some reason they are far more visible in 1.1 than they ever were in 1.0, the reason for which has not been explained.

In 1.1:
Your beam quality settings also affect how much of the X you see. If it is at high, the beam will mostly be blurry and high quality like a beam should be, and if it's at crappy, you will see a very solid low quality beam where the X is more easily visible.
