Railgun Turret

    Railgun Turret 2017-01-16

    Here is a long-range railgun turret designed for the upcoming Klingon Duvqu+General's Chariot combo. It features 100 Cannon/100 Beam/100 Punch-through, and is suitable for general purposes. It is easily modified into Ion or even Beam, if you wish to alter its functionality.

    The turret is energy self-sufficient, providing its own power, shields, and even works when your ship is docked to a station. Also included is a 10/10/10 Missile/Beam/Explosive vertical-launch lock-on, as well as a simple 1/1 Missile/Cannon Gatling Rocket, to occupy enemy AMS turrets while your larger missiles get through.

    To install this turret onto your ship, you must first clear out a 9x9 space underneath the armor of your ship. (You may need to clear out slightly more if you find yourself unable to dock without the camera). Along the bottom of this space, place a RAIL BASIC (not a Turret Axis) for the Turret Block to dock to. Poke a hole in your ship's armor above this Rail Basic, for the turret's Rail Docker laser to shoot through. Spawn the turret, enter through the side doorway, then Arrow Key Down until you are in the Block. Switch to the Block's camera, and fly towards your ship.

    Once you've arrived, go into Build Mode, and remove the Thrusters and Camera from the Block. Dock to your ship through the hole you poked in the armor. You now have two ways to exit and proceed:

    Procedure A: Up Arrow into the Turret Barrel, then exit that Core through the Blast Hatch in the ceiling of the Turret Housing. Close the Hatch, re-enter the Turret Barrel from the side, set the AI, and close the door.

    Procedure B: Down Arrow from the Block into your ship's Core, and proceed from there. You'll need to spacewalk to set the turret AI, but if your ship is spazzing out and you get stuck trying to exit the Turret Barrel, this is a guaranteed way to escape.

    The Block does not rotate. Only the Housing and Barrel rotate, above the armor layer. By docking the Block to the Rail Basic, you enable the turret to function while your ship is docked to a station, as the Rail Basic interrupts the command flow, preventing all of your turrets from attempting to take control of the lowest possible docked entity (which in that case would be your ship itself).

    Klingon Duvqu and General's Chariot sold separately. Bro Star Manufacturing is not resposible for the damage and/or destruction of personal property due to negligent client misuse of punch-through railgun turret assemblies.
