It's a pretty rotating turret system. I'll look at it.

Zalausai Edit: I believe that I understand how it works. time to recreate it. If successful, the results will be posted here and a tutorial could be in order (An advanced tutorial section anyway). This requires 4 turrets, 1 trigger, and 1 rotating section. It should be added to the turret tutorial.

Zalausai Edit: Tests Successful. I understand how to make a rotating turret setup. It functions similar to the specimen ship, although much simpler.

Let me know if this is satisfactory, Cryosleep. If it is, I'll teach everyone. Test it in the sandbox.

Trigger on 1 and off 1.
Note that each "Barrel" is actually an improper turret. I don't know why it was done that way, but it works, so I will not question it.
The "barrels" will look weird when rotating unless the white parenting arrow where they are placed is inside the round rotating section. It marks their center for rotation purposes. I also added a link firing delay to two of the weapons to complete the look. It fires a shot every 5 frames and does a full rotation every 15 frames.

It's much more complicated making a Smaller version for this where those barrels are removed and only guns are Present

Now even more simplified. Barrels removed. Guns only. :)

Added a small section to the "Shipmaker Handbook" on weapon parameters in the "EDIT" tab. They are the most common parameters.

can u do a tutorial on mines? i know one method for making a space mine (the modified weapon method) but there is a completely different method that makes ships (or mines) explosive. all i know about it is that it involves a "critical subsystem". thanks for the tutorials that you posted already, being a newb, i actually learned something. also, for the sake of people even newbier than me, please post one for the modified weapon method of making mines.

Set AI to kamikazi, set a low AI range, enjoy explosions.
You don't actually need the Criticalobject module, that just makes the destruction much more convenient and controllable than the shrapnel bombs of old.
