Looks like keen might have "fixed" the merge block trick, but looks like there is a 1x1x1 merge block in the game now? I might take a shot at a redesign but would love to see what you come up with ;)

That is an awesome trick for sure! I still hope one day we might see 1x1x1 small merge blocks as vanilla. I suppose if the script supports it a rotor / rotor head could serve that purpose... Anyway, thank you again for all your creations, after about 2 weeks (real time) I've almost got a Tyrant built on a survival server. It's been an absolute blast setting up a shipyard and building and outfitting this ship, along with creating a small ship printer to print out a bunch of these missile modules to haul with me :)

Thank you, I was surprised to see it myself! I don't remember who I saw do it first, but if you leave a one-block space between the attached merge blocks, and make sure they are not attached to anything else, they will both detach when turned off. This is also why there are blast door edges around the module.

I'm interested in creating more variants for myself, but I'm at a loss on how you managed to get 2 missiles to connect to 1 merge block on the rack (2 merge blocks to 1 merge block)? Also big congratulations on this creation being in the current splash screen!!

Awesome, thanks I'll check out the video!! Sounds good, I'll just make privately modified versions and keep them to my self :) m Thank you for sharing your artwork with the community

Hi, I'm glad you find it useful! I would load the module projector with the blueprint, and then make a reloading platform using one or two large welders. There is an example in the 'Wraith' youtube film at 3:26.

Regarding making simpler versions of the ships, I don't think I will modify my existing ships. I simply don't have the time to do it, and would rather make new ships with the time I do have. I have begun making smaller and less resource- and PCU-heavy ships though (the 'Ravager' and soon the 'Vengeance'), so hopefully those will be more useful in MP.

This works exceedingly well, I love it!! and everything you make! What I have been doing thus far is building a small ship printer rig and just making racks of these, but I was wondering if it were possible to create just the missles in a mass production way to reload racks? Or is it just as well to grind down the spent racks and produce a whole fresh "unit" of missiles?

P.S. I have been using your designs for PVP multiplayer, but I have to modify them, you do some really good detailed work, but in PVP MP a lot of the extra's can go (it's just me so I don't need 10 cryopods) Any chance you might be thinking about creating a line for the fleet that might be more suited for MP server play? I'd like to see a version of the Tyrant in particular that's maybe got reduced bay's, or modify a bay or two into "cargo" area, so that I can carry more racks of these missiles with me

Yes, that's right. If the turret has no lock, the missile will follow where you point the forwardmost camera of the 'Ghost'.

Oh OK. So just to be clear, I have to recompile the missile pod's PB once attached, not the dropship's itself? And the turret range is 600m?

Thank you! The utility 'Ghost' variant has a remote control block behind its flight camera (toolbar 1, button 5) that guides it without a lock. One of the 'Ghosts' turrets will take over missile guidance if it locks on to anything. For these to work you will have to press the recompile button on the module's programmable block after attaching it.

Is there a camera attached to the dropship to guide the missiles, or will one have to be added? Great looking and versatile set of blueprints, btw.
