Description
NO MODS/DLCS
(Subgrids, obviously)

DESCRIPTION
Designed by Coyote Orbital for close-in combat against small and fast targets, the Point Defense Autocannon Turret employs a miniaturized hinge design; this provides both additional armor and a snug fit onto mounts as small as 2.5m x 2.5m. It comes ready to mount onto the conveyors of any existing ship or station and requires only a programmable block or vanilla Custom Turret Controller on the base grid.

if u like pls leave a rating ^-^ <3

SPECIFICATIONS
PCU - 1,062
BLOCKS - 85
MASS - 8,477 kg.
ARMAMENT - 6x fixed autocannon

(BRIEF) USER GUIDE
Make sure the spot on your ship where you want to mount this turret is relatively flat. You may have to first remove some components or armor and add it back later, or use the extremely based Build Freedom plugin[github.com]. Just paste this turret's azimuth rotor onto that spot.
While it can be used with a custom turret controller, the turret also has groups already set up for the Diamond Dome Defense Script ("DDS Turrets"). Follow the setup instructions provided by Alysius in the guide linked on DDS's workshop page. One or more designators will need to be added to your ship; it is recommended to provide them with similar arcs of fire/views of the surrounding area that you want the given PDCs to cover.

One little admission: the cutaway is an idea stolen without shame from carn1vore.

the build freedom plugin is kind of needed for placement.

otherwise (in creative) paste the turret on air, ctrl-shift-b to blueprint the subgrid only,
(in survival or creative, wherever u want to use turret) attach small grid 1x1x1 hinge head, 1x1x1 conveyor junction on top of it, then projector behind it. then load aforementioned bp into projector and build

How to place it on grids? I cant put this on my ships. just on the air

as of recently you can no longer connect small grid hinge or rotor parts to their large grid counterparts unfortunately.

uhhh what specifically is the issue

This BP is broken and will not build in survival with a projector.

I've just worked out why it won't paste in; the rotor is off by 2° compared to the rest of the grid. That's why it won't stick.

Is anyone else having trouble getting this thing to stick to grids? Cant use a projector because the rotor is about 20mm too low plus I'm getting a weird "projector doesn't allow building" error on my UI. Pasting it in isn't working for me either because it won't stick to any existing grid. Help?
