Gimbal Gatling System [Vanilla]

Description
This is a small template for a gimbal gatling system to use on your fighters and ships. It makes use of the amazing Whip's AI Turret Slaving Script by Whiplash141 to fire your forward gatlings with more accuracy on your target. It can be put in an on or off state, where gatlings can be used as fixed weapons on the off state, while they can shoot automatically or manually when the designator turret is used.

* No Mods, only the Script.
* Minimal to no clang given by the subgrid parts.
* Copy/Paste in your creative world for easy buildability.

In YELLOW are all the components not needed. In BLUE are the necessary component who are unique per ship (you should use one of them to manage all the gatlings in case you use more than one). The grey blocks are the template gatling of this model. The top Gatling Turret is needed for the AI scrpit to designate targets for the gimbal. It can be manually targeted for manual gimbal aim, or it can do it automatically. The gimbal arcs are limited so the gun will mostly shoot forward like a normal gatling, but more accurate on your forward target. The timer block is needed for activation/deactivation of the gimbal system. If off you can use the gatlings as fixed weapons.

If you come with any questions or issues, let me know in the comments. Enjoy!
