Description
This mod takes the model used for the orbital defence cannons and makes them buildable on your gravship in a smaller scale

I wanted a turret that was a bit more space gunship looking and thought the Orbital Platform guns looked pretty cool. So i took that model and made it into a turret.

For the time being the vanilla stats are pretty similar to the Autocannon, but higher firerate and damage. I am open to tweak the values so it fits into the vanilla playstyle. I think i might make multiple variants of the cannon. Artillery, Cannon and Autocannon as it is right now. Maybe a 1 to 1 scale Orbital Gauss Cannon even though it will be pretty useless

Current Features

Vanilla:
9x9 Gauss Cannon(Anti Aircraft Gauss Cannon) Which shoots Anti-grain projectiles
9x9 Anti Ship Beam which is a more powerful beam(Need to make beam larger)
3x3 Orbital autocannon/CIWS that is a faster and harder hitting version of the vanilla Autocannon with multibarrel design
3x3 Orbital Artillery that is a much faster mortar. For now it is manned and reloaded manually.
3x3 Orbital Cannon that is a heavy hitting cannon that fires large explosive projectiles, but smaller than the artillery
3x3 Orbital Laser/Beam. High in power and no barrelchange/ammo. I will see if i maybe add powercells or something to it to balance it.

CE:
3x3 Orbital autocannon in 75mm
3x3 Orbital CIWS in 30mm
3x3 Orbital Artillery 105mm

Please report any issues!

Added compatibility with:

Vanilla Expanded Framework (Much bigger ranges for the large cannons)

Combat Extended 1.6

Reel's Turret Pipeline

I could perhaps make a 5x5 version be 155mm, there is also the matter of autoloaders. Beams are not supported yet in CE i dont think

I love those turrets in CE, but a shame there's no 155mm

Also be sure to check that the correct ammo is selected in the modsettings

Until the newest update the big cannon was not included with reels, it should be now with version 1.81

hey i love your turrets but also its compatible with reels turret pipeline right? idk if its a bug but it needs manual rearm even using the pipes

Customization added for half of the cannons with a new mod menu. If the settings dont update then just quicksave and load the save and it should be updated

Version 1.8
