EDIT: partially outdated content
Here be the refined version of the vertical launch nuke turret! Meet the
SCF MB-880 MkII! Now includes nuclear warning symbol. Does rather massive damage if it gets to hit the hull; also has enough shields (and will be placed in a more protected location in the future) to not fall to the first wave of bombers.
New naming schedule for SCF produced turrets:
{C,B,M,P}{C,B,M,P}<{i,e,p,pc}>-<mass> <version>
The first two letters are the master/slave system, then (optional) i for ion, e for explosive, p for punch-through and pc for piercing are added (more options when I create turrets with other effects). Then follows the mass of the turret to get a good estimate of it's power and space requirements.
Three of these (old value: four) will be installed on the ship; I have scrapped one large hardpoint in favor of more smaller hardpoints for point defense turrets.
The smaller brother (here seen already implemented) is the MB-180 version - ideal for sniping isanths or assisting in the destruction of hull, although they pack far less of a punch than the MB-880.
Also, more progress is being made on the hull coherence pass (front part of ship)
Note: the exterior of the ship is not finalized in many places yet
