You should add the ‘Direct Energy Weapons’ mod to make use of its turrets that use only energy to fire. They would be perfect for defending your solar Array since it produces and stores power. This would give it a defense system that won’t need ammo.
@AndrewmanGaming3 жыл бұрын
You're right, that would be great for defense! I think the solar power field produces more power than we need anyway so it could handle the extra load.

You should use the resources from the ship to build a specialized battle rover, i actually have a pretty good idea of how to build it. I was thinking you could also convert that idea you had for a mining rover, instead make a little weaponized 'atmospheric strike fighter' which connects to the rover. Specs below - Battle Rover - + Heavy armour blocks in exterior + Secondary cockpit in the center + Front and rear gatling guns for multidirectional combat + 5x5 wheels with powerful suspension for high-speed maneuvers + Minor cargo space, 1 medium cargo + Topside connector (For fighter attachment) Strike Fighter - + Light armour blocks + Missile turret (Front) + Gatling gun (Rear) + 2 batteries + 6 upwards thrusters, 4 forward thrusters, 4 left & 4 right thrusters, 2-4 downwards thrusters (atmospheric, for extreme maneuvers, adjust as you like) + Bottom connector (For rover attachment)

@@AndrewmanGaming Well, it's the difference between a glorified cargo hauler with a gun and an actual warship, so yeah. Also, just wanted to point out that if you want to peek and shoot, it might be more efficient to keep your gun in the front/back of the ship instead of the middle to expose less when you're firing

watch out for those Blueberries & Cherries in your Rear View mirror. they really frown on Hauling A$$ in a no A$$ hauling Zone. Small Grids can take down Large Grids if you play it smart and use effective tactics on them. start by picking off Guns to limit what it can do to you. then target thrusters to down it for salvage. Rocket Launchers + Missiles have an AoE and will damage adjacent blocks. the sweetest prize is a functional Jump Drive!

why don't you use build planner? it would make loading materials and planing construction way quicker. Also to take ships down you will need a lot more guns, not just one or two scattered arround. Piping them to your main cargo is also a must so you don't need to worry about loading each one manually. And in a final note, in order to take control of a ship, you must hack the control seat, and destroy the rest if there is more than one, also you must grind or destroy timer and programable blocks, as well as remote control blocks and antenas to keep some ships for calling for help. Once you do that, it is wise to take ownership of the ship in the control panel to make sure it won't be shooted to shreds by your base guns the moment you fly it in.
