So finally got back around to that ship and its turrets, still wedging to do and a redesign of the head but for the most part they are complete. Album: http://imgur.com/a/OwnyC We'll start off with a side view just before I closed em up, 5x cannon-cannon-overdrive per turret. These little...

I ran into the core alignment issue because I build weird turrets, its quirks are actually useful once you've figured it out but infuriating just prior. For example one AMS I produced caused the turrets to rev up to like 1200 RPM when it detected a missile and throw a hissy fit. Probably should...

Possibly, perhaps only allow it to work if the docker has enough enhancers for the target and implement faction permissions? Should stop grapple drones and prevent combat snagging.

Only time Iv had trouble with ams is due to severely resticted range of motion or very tight fitting (causing collision checking fun). After their target is gone they generally wake up. Never had issues with ams that has room to breath and enough range of motion. Only thing that really annoys...

So I picked out a new planet for demolition, jumped into my mining cube of death™ after signing the paperwork. Second jump landed in a star, no problem got a fast jump drive. Fourth jump landed 300m from a pirate station, no problem got a fast jump drive, shields will survive. Arrive at planet...

5 delay signals, 2 not gates. not gate feeds back into the delay chain and power supply computer. Also feeds into second not, which is attached to the same comp

For the most part I've moved away from back injection. Its just not robust, it is also fiddly, laggy and horribly inefficient compared to other power system designs.

They remain, and it drives me bonkers.

Yet another reason to blow planets up.

Will do, these turrets also have another nifty feature that needs them to be completed to show off. They can be forced to pick a opposing directions when formulating a firing solution, so they cant block each others line of fire (for example in a dead on situation).

Yep, linear arrangements of output rather than horizontal (aka checkerboard). It does give awesome penetration, but you lose A LOT of damage, because it penetrates through almost everything.

Coming soon: Bulldog class destroyer.

Thats pretty cool seeing that amount of variety deployed on short notice.

Here's a open view of a omnidirectional turret I've been working on for a destroyer. This particular turret can hit any target that isn't directly blocked by the ship itself (makes a awesome AMS in testing). Trigger warning: skeleton build pre-wedging

Or flak/timed det weapons.

Pretty simple concept similar to the faction permission module. When placed next to another block it improves the blocks output or productivity, eg when placed next to a capsule refinery or micro assembler it would improve efficiency further and give you more capsules/mesh/composite. When placed...

I dock side on most of the time, usually rock up to my station and zoom out for initial alignment. After initial alignment I jump to camera view and use the simple movement to align enough for the beam to connect.

And suddenly missile.

Well rather than arguing, my basic understanding is that entities that are 'attached' have much reduced physics overheads in comparison to free floating entities. Additionally the children are syncronised to the parents movement, which can prevent things like doors flapping around in the breeze...

TL;DR: After being undocked a entity should remain aligned/attached to the parent entity until it exits the parents bounding box. Currently upon undocking there is the potential for all sorts of collision shenanigans, hopefully with alignment/attachment post docking this can be reduced. This...
