any plans to add a spacer and ultra version? like a futuristic more powerful laser type?

Tried using this like the VEF turrets - the flak cannon shoots to slow to actually destroy any incoming shells

Well that was fast, thanks

Thanks for the report, just pushed a fix.

nice

Updated: If you load after Vanilla Expanded Factions - Ancients, the flak turret will behave as the point defense turret does.

i cant seem to find it

I was also thinking if those ideas don't work out, having a turret that when you build it, it wont actually do anything, but would reduce the chance of a hostile drop pod event from happening by a little, and if it does it could have a chance of reducing how many drop pods because the turret "shot them down"

Ok, I'm trying it now. If you could remember the mod you're talking about, that could be useful.

it can be used on other turrets, ive seen one of my other mods have that capability on their turret when vfe ancients was installed, but i cant remember which mod that was

Did a little research ... there is code in VFE - Ancients to do that, but in their words it's "very hard-coded and hacky" and so probably won't be put into the Framework any time soon (which would be my preferred way to utilize it). I don't know if it could even be used on other turrets or if it's that hard-coded to the point defense turret. I may fool with it a little, but no promises.

vanilla expanded ancients has a turret that targets dropods and motars, could maybe ask to borrow the code they used for that

yessss I have been wanting a mod that would do something like that a flack turret that would shoot down a few drop pods from the sky would be crazy cool especially with how many times the game throws drop pods at you

That would definitely be neat, and would fit the idea of a flak turret ... but to be honest I have no idea on how to go about doing it. :) Probably would require some C#, which is beyond my skillset at this point.

I don't know if you're able to do this, but if it could shoot down incoming drop-pods, or cause damage to any hostiles coming in with them? That would be sick.

thank you for your contribution to rimworld!
