This looks AWESOME! I cannot wait to try it out :D

I like how it's modular, and there's no fiddly gravitational fields to get disrupted. Just plop it onto a ship and you're good to go. Simple mechanism but i like it.

Interesting. I've got an idea. Put a ship grinder at the end of it, they are practically indestructable, and use it as a ship puncher. Great work.

NICE
Spaceship catapult, my favourite!

@Vengeful_Bunny Tanks! In my opinion that mechanism has many possibilities!

Thanks Pep. I was less concerned about the actual mechanism than the effects of the launched item. I will have to stress test it as I was thinking of using it as internal catapult to launch broadside torps and fighters. Either way, excellent.

@Nelerath I'm not check it :/ If someone could help me when launch... ;D

What's the speed of the ship on launch?

@Vengeful_Bunny Thanks! This dessign does not need any guide. It works fine mounted on a ship. Let me paste here Weak1ings comment, he tested my missile turret silo on a ship

This survived my Stress testing with minor damage! The elevator actually works in fast ships with high turning and even simulated spinning as if it ran out of power. 10/10 would not break in a few minutes of flying like a maniac for no reason.

Great implementation. On the Torp idea Kanasterstuhl mentioned, definately. Though me thinks you would need to dedicate a massive amoutn of internal space to allow for guide arms so maneuver would still be possible while firing....nothing worse than blowing YOURSELF up.

I have to say this is a very good design considering it is stable and can be use as many things
I would reccomend this design for anyone wanting a piston of some sort

Viper Launch tubes! Time to frack some toasters!

In fact this is the solution for a torpedo which can´t be reflected, congrats.
