A trick I've used when each parasite ship has it's own docking point is to call the parasite ships into formation before ordering them to dock. They will always form up on the mothership in the same pattern/ locations based on their position in the fleet list and this makes it so they will...
In addition to this idea's negation of the entire current point of stabilizers;
If we take the commonly thrown around theory-crafting stabilizer pod distance from ship as 1km (just for klicks) and mount that as a rotating docked component where standard constant rotator period is approximately...
This seems rather poorly thought out. It would completely remove the point of stabilizers as docked entities are not (yet?) counted towards ship dimensions.
Don't let your designs be constrained by such artificial concepts as perspective and core facing direction. In space it's likely that no one shares your frame of reference anyways.
Here's how I would do the thing;
Turret extender maybe
Only once the extending rotation step is complete will the OR-latch set and allow the retraction operation. Latch is needed due to lack of signal from the rotator on completion of the retraction rotation step.
I can't think of a way to...
I would do this with a short delay chain linked from an inner ship remote. Each operation to deploy is triggered by a delay somewhere in the chain when the inner ship remote is turned on. Stowing operations are triggered by NOTs linked to the chain that activate as the delay chain turns off when...
Imagine if you will a quasar-like body at the center of the galaxy that slowly spins in all axes and the astrophysical jets from its poles play across opposing areas of the galaxy. The sectors in the paths of the jets are the ones given modifications.
The moving area of effect would provide...
I would like to retain the ability to alter the degree of rotation through logic. Maybe we could link a display module and enter the degrees and direction of rotation in some format eg. [rotator]69ccw. It could also serve for rail speed settings or sensor levels perhaps.
