Inspiration and Ideas

I have seen many Gravity Cannon and Orbital bombardment in the workshop, but I felt like I need to make my own version. Haven`t seen anybody using hexagonal design so far, so started planning. I had to make several big modifications (3) to earn the current shape.

Armament and Weaponry
Defense:
Twelve interior turrets on the landing pads.
Two gatling turrets under the pads.
Four gatling turrets defending the cargo part of the cannon.
Four rocket turrets and four gatling turrets on the cargotanks.
One interior turrets in the airlock hub.
Weapon:
One 24 BPM Gravity propelled warhead launcher
A warhead consists of a merge, three warheads, two spaceballs and a blast door piece

Tactics

If you hover directly above the target area, Whiplash`s gravity alignment script (not installed yet) will help you to deliver every shot in the center of the target. The avarage speed of the warhead is 280m/s. If you want to attach a ship, the best tactic is to turn off inertia dampeners, and accelerate to the same speed as your target. Beware of turning while firing the Gauss-Cannon!

Crew

One person is able to operate the whole station alone, but the landing pad operators all have a seat with a great view. In the control center 14 people can take a seat and operate gatling cannons, or communications.
In the living quarter there are 16 rooms each "armed" with 2 cryo pods and an air vent, furthermore each one has two seats.

Cargo and storage

Twelve large cargo containers can hold the items needed to build warheads.
Every system is set up on conveyors and the ship can be pressurized with oxygen. We can call this survival ready.
Also the ship has 1 oxygen tank which is perfectly enough for keeping up the pressure. Many oxygen generators help to generate enough hydrogen for the Eightteen hydrogen tanks.

Power
Five small reactors loaded with 40 Uranium, and the station also has six hexagonal solar panels each with four solar cells. Twelve batteries are also fully loaded.

Scripts and programs

MMaster`s Configurable Automatic LCDs

Whiplash`s super secret non-released scripts

The rounds despawn when they are far enough away, how do I fix this?

Actually it just doesn't fire at all and some blocks fall and when I move it blows up.

Dr. Skeeter  [author] 7 Aug, 2018 @ 11:28am 
if it disappears, it has to be trash removal.
