Helios R-40 Dagger

[Vanilla|Survival Ready|No Subgrids]

A simple gatling gun to attach to large grid ships via a rotor.

The R-40 Dagger is one of the simpler gatling gun design, utilizing a O2/H2 generator as a conveyor connection. Although it is pretty basic and small, it still packs quite a punch with its 4 gatling guns.

-fully conveyored
-attached via advanced rotor
-no scripts needed


-Blocks: 51
-PCU: 607
-Mass: 4.9 t
-4 gatling guns


-Build an advanced rotor on your large ship (leave some space for the gatling gun)
-Delete the rotor head
-Paste in/ project&weld this blueprint
-Attach it to the rotor (terminal->rotor->attach) (easiest with a tugboat)
-Rotate rotor to desired angle (probably straight forward)
-Lock rotor
-To shoot simply move the gatling guns into the toolbar (works the same way as with small ships)

-In creative, paste it in while slowly moving towards the rotor, then quickly attach it when it arrives
-Don't lock the rotor before you attach it, it might summon clang
-The connector works perfectly fine, you can use it (connecting with 'P' does not work though, do it from the terminal)
-You can adjust the offset of the rotor as you like
