+1 anyone who does logic wants this. Especially if and only if gates. Sheesh.

Can't you just make a docking camera?

Keep in mind that at that point you may as well reck the turret instead, if you undock the power core and the turrets are still attached then they'll still shoot you. Especially if the PC has redundancy in power generation for the turrets.

Which is why you make them like cut aways for a ship. If they fall out, they fall straight out.

[1.] yes, an alternate, more optimized engine type is how we would do this. Bonus points if grouping it in a prism facing in the direction gives if more power. [2.] Eh. I can sorta get what you mean, but the amount of revision and redoing out would take to make not much change. The grouping...

Aren't these docked power cores, which are almost a replacement to docked reactors for turrets?

And with ring turrets you might as well make the base out of power gens and caps. () are round each one.

Ikr. Brick miners for the win. But I just make a pure brick with the systems in every other spot. In the middle the JD and other expensive stuff. 8 or 10 power rods. 6 thruster rods, a bunch of cargo blocks.

Make it count as a regular ship, however turrets wouldn't regularly fire on it. You would need to select target it.

Any progress on this? It's still in your signature, which is how I found it, and I wanted to know if you had dropped the idea or if you're still on it. It's been more than a year...

General discussion is pretty good for this stuff.;) I'm no expert on ships, but a few things I'd like to know are what shape it will end up in, and what you want it to be(a miner, a main ship, a corvette). Just from looking at it right now, a few things I noticed are that you don't have any...

Maybe you would need to do "selected target" the boarding vessel. Give commanders a thing to do. And the turrets firing at that entity would sometimes miss and hit the boarded ship, dealing damage, so you would need to watch out when shooting at when you try to stop the boarders.

But the ratio of a pencil is about 0.03, and the ratio of the Titan would be about 0.06.... Oh. Nvm. I got it. Yea. You're right.

If it's a cylinder, it would be only 200 blocks wide. If it's a square, it would be about 182 per side. That's really, really, really, small. Your turrets would look way out of proportion, unless they were really small. You gotta change one of the values. For reference, an unsharpenned pencil is...

But if they're short range, and you have enough turrets, you'd be fine. Ideally there would be some system in place so you needed sustained fire to do damage. The range is 20 meters. Unless you have thousands of drones or they're lightning fast, they couldn't do much damage to a prepared ship...

I admit this is rather unthoughtout, but the idea is a weapon system that has a very short range(like 20 meters at most) but can slowly drill through a ship. Part of the boarding system, this would be a version of a ship mounted torch. More damage than the torch however. And a ~3 by 3 hole...
