Caltrop Splintering Naval Mine V2

Update: Works again:)

The Caltrop (V2) is a small grid territorial defense measure intended to stop larger warships and unsuspecting vessels. Upon detecting an enemy vessel within 2500 meters, the Caltrop activates, launching 4 seeking missiles in all directions. The Caltrop is intended to be used in clusters of 4-5 deployed via a printing ship. Its jet-black paint scheme allows it to remain hidden from view until right on-top of its target. The only indication that the mine has spotted you is a miniscule puff of smoke in the distance, a sign the rockets have detached and are screaming towards you.

These missiles use Ion Thrusters for their propulsion, with the missile's batteries charged by 2 solar panels once the Caltrop is set. Ideally, these lie in wait for a long period of time, hovering in space and waiting potential prey. So there should be plenty of time for their batteries to charge once placed.

After launching its missiles, the Caltrop's "core" can be retrieved if you so wish, but it's not too expensive to begin with. A beacon will activiate 3 minutes after the mine is activated signaling it is ready for retrieval. By default the signal reads "C.R.R.S." (Caltrop-Recycle-Retrieval-Signal). The Caltrop also has an extra merge block mounted on one of its solar panels. Use this if you want to make a Printing Ship.

Credit: The Rockets the Caltrop fires are based on Major Jon's Automatons Update Rockets, adjusted to run on Ion Thrusters and Batteries instead of Hydrogen. Props to them for making their tutorial so easy to follow.

PCU = 4246
Blocks (including all 4 missiles and the core piece) = 264

P.S. Made this second verison of the Caltrop after it was covered on YT and I got some really good feedback. I hope this slightly enhanced version allows it to be used more effectively.
