btw i've found taht for som reason you need to get the space balls to realize their tonnage when within a grav field by changing their tonnage before you fire as they will just sit there as if their tonnage is set to 0

also if possible could you make an MK2 variant of this bugga?
hinges are now a thing so perhaps you could have a wack at it again with new parts!

how derpy is it now?

It has something to do with the rotors. This game really hates builds with rotors or pistons. Until it's thoroughly fixed by the game itself, I am not really able to do much about it. It used to work fine.

"For me, when I spawn it, it just rotate uncontrollably until I fire the ammo, so I can't aim anf it take some second to stabilize."

+1

Play this when you release the payload for maximum awesomeness:

Thank me later.

@SHRIMP! I think the "background map" you are looking for will be found if you typed into the workshop search box: "Karos graveyard."

It's probably some of the recent "fixes". I'll look into it.

For me, when I spawn it, it just rotate uncontrollably until I fire the ammo, so I can't aim anf it take some second to stabilize.

fancy

Could this be the new Death Lotus?

whats the background map u use on pics of your builds

Yo! Lovin that red october theme!

Love the design. It reminds me a bit of a squid.

This is interesting, keep it up!

Does it launch from a ship called Arya? O.o

@Sir Bulldozer - Thank you for your comment. I've test-fired these pellets at some of the warships here on the workshop (that's how I discovered that I would need the anti-grav ammo). Even against multiple turrets 1 or 2 hits are scored, probably because a total of 12 shots with some distance between them makes it hard to intercept them all. Needle is definetly not the ultimate weapon but it's affordable.

To answer your question - I've also noticed that the timer block works, even without power. It probably has something to do with it being triggered while it still has power.

since the warheads are armed once launched, doesn't any AAA turret make quick work of those ? (i saw the decoys but i know they don't last long). And for the shield piercing ones, how comes the timer still works once deprived of electricity ? (maybe that's a bug i wasn't aware of) Thanks for sharing your ship, i've been developping artillery since SE came out in EA, so it's really interesting to see new kinds of contribution to the field.

Always a fan of space artillery, this is great! Love the looks with the opening arms, the idea of a shield-piercing round is brilliant, great design!

looks great!

nice as always!
