Helios C-50 Penta

[Vanilla|Survival Ready|No Subgrids]

A simple gatling gun to attach to large (and small) grid ships via a connector.

The C-50 Penta is an all around medium gun, fit for every ship and situation. It is mounted with a connector, which allows it to be pointed slightly inwards, so your all your guns will shoot at the same spot.

-fully conveyored
-attached via connector
-no scripts needed


-Blocks: 47
-PCU: 790
-Mass: 3.8 t
-5 gatling guns


-Build a connector on your ship (leave some space for the gatling gun)
-Paste in/ project&weld this blueprint
-Move it close to the ships connector, so that both glow yellow (easiest with a tugboat)
-Nudge it around to align the rotation (either with jetpack or tugboat)
-Open the terminal of the gatling gun and start the timer (connectors then lock automatically&permanently)
-To shoot simply move the gatling guns into the toolbar (works the same way as with small ships)

-U can still use 'P' for landing gears or connectors, the gatling guns will not detach
-Since a recent update Connectors stay connected without power, i.e. the guns will never detach
-In creative, paste it in while slowly moving towards the connector
-You can change the Connector strength, if that makes alignment easier
-If you attach it with a tugboat, you can yaw it inwards to sight them in, so they will not shoot parallel but converge
