Normally beams dont go through ships. I believe this is a result of the fact that the center part of that ship ships, and hit detection for spinning parts is a little sketchy/non-existent

No, it's almost certainly because he paused the game to line up a good angle for the screenshot. The beam trimming code doesn't get called when the simulation time for the frame is zero.
