I always compromise and make a medium gauge gun that’s bad at everything

So I really enjoy big shell rail aps. Those can punch holes through things on things and inside things.

I think you should absolutely add some shrouds to those main props to protect them a bit better

Instead of optimizing my guns for small shells fired quickly or big shells fired rarely, I simply spend 75% of my materials budget on firepower and die before I can use any of it.

BorderWise builds thing around function I build things around them blowing up nicely while also being functional enough to use in the campaign

An event horizon style burst railgun would be epic

I think a great name for it would be "Rain Storm" since it spits out such an unholy amount of shells Shrapnel maybe? Again, it spits out metal like mad and it does use frag stuff.

I'm very excited to see a new snig. I didn't know a new one was in the works till I saw this, so thats super exciting

Calling It the Amazonas would be neat, as the guns make for quite the canopy

Hmm - since there's empty spacein the middle.. How about jet engines? - use the empty space for clearance and armor them from sides. Could work agains the nose up and balance the propulsion.. Or are those horribly inefficient compared to custom props? A laser system or two in the middle might be cool.. Maybe two systems both feeding to three masts o there'd be redundancy and also while hawing them mainly for damaging but also double as lams set to really short range just in case something get's through the APS CWIZ.. Cram mortars on the sides - because they'd look cool and could help to finish ships that go slow or are mobility killed bit faster.

I doubt it would be a good idea, or necessarily even effective. But, could you make fuel pods? Like under the water water balloons where if the fuel explodes it would cut itself from the rest of the ship to stop any burning? Like the fuel tank, surrounded by 3x3 metal, with a soft block that would disconnect it from the main ship if the fuel explodes. My thought is to have the angle to hit them with them under the hull of this ship being their primary defense. Of course, that may not even slightly be effective. It would just be nifty if we could make section of a ship that auto detach if the payload gets hit, limiting fire damage. Which seems like a very real threat now.

Btw the Firepower/1000 Materials for your Cram Turret seems to be about 1.3, Ive made one that got to about 1.7 though its armor is light, but 1.6 should be possible for your gun. I know, cram tetris is a headache, but learning it downright makes your crams better.

For a name suggestion, how about the Ribit or Ribbit? Ri(sky)-Bi(g)-T(hing)? XD So, if you find that you want to use batteries, the fastest way to fill them is by using Steam generators. Large steam generators, most specifically, double sided. Upsides: Most power generation possible. Not very block-dense. Downsides: Only puts energy into batteries- doesn't produce non-battery energy. Large, so generally big target. Also just checking- is your shell and frag amount maxed out? I mean in settings. If not, I'd definately suggest putting them to max to allow as many shells (and fragments) as possible before they'll despawn. Another potentially weird suggestion- if you need to problem-solve the amount of shells without wanting to lower the rate of fire, it -might- be possible to add a timed fuse to the shells (the kinetic ones too) which is set for a time-to-distance beyond reasonable expected engagement, but far before the natural despawn range of the shell. It means that misses- which are major culprits in active shell numbers, aren't clogging up the shell numbers for as long as they otherwise would. Downside, of course, is that it weakens the shell. So it's a solution for only if the shell limit is being grossly exceeded in a manner where shell number reduction is an implausible solution.

i personaly prefere to keep my guns at around 60rpm to not have to deal with the problem with projectile limit. but in the end it shouldnt really matter. except for you big rapid fire guns they defenitly are to much i think. with 8 miniguns. the game cant really handle that i guess

15:00 did you word it the wrong way? Ie, ships tend to be better than thrustercraft?

Idk whats he is talking about its very good to comperd to mine

21:23 but all of those radiators are connected to each other the back of a radiator connects to the side of an other radiator.

why not pitch up the props on v7? it could have the same effect at the rear prop on the v8
