Eratosthenes turret - Continuous beam variant v1

An arguably beautiful, minimalistic, and surprisingly powerful turret. Kind of a miniature Death Star. Ideal for stations or large, futuristic ships.

Build a turret axis block exactly below the voxel position in which you want the turret's center point to be. The blueprint comes without thrusters; install it in environments where the "spawn on rail" admin option is available (eg. singleplayer). It's also unshielded and non-self-powered.
