Any protection from Gatling Guns?

[Surian Bedivere]

These things seem way too powerful. I dont remember them being this way. Basicly every large ship i have gets chewed up by these in seconds. Even with the heavy blocks as armor.

Is there anything i can do about this? Mod the power down of Gatling Guns? Mod the armor value of heavy blocks?
Diffirent construction methods?

Right now if i know where the critical part of my ship is, roughly a two second burst of the gatling gun will chew through heavy armor, 4 walls behind it, and destroys the piece i'm aiming for.

Sounds more like you have a mod that increase gatling dmg :O

Or how many gatlings the enemy ship had?

[Pembroke]

The gatlings aren't that good... Do you have a speed mod? Maybe you get clipping or collision detection issues and the bullets go through the armor without actually hitting it?

Dont mod....engineer ;)

Have some decoys behind armour away from critical systems, then have welders right behind them pointing at the decoys. Then as they are damaged they reweld. Even place a projection of each decoy there aswell so if it is completly destroyed a new one will be welded.

You can launch decoys aswell with welder projector systems. So you would have a merge with a decoy each side as a seperat little blueprint. Project that onto a merge block on the ships hull then disconnect it at speed and slow down. Or you can add an arti mass to the decoy blueprint and use a grav field to push it away from the ship :)

This a self reloading decoy launcher on my cruiser, using grav fields to push it forwards and away sideways

This what the grav fields look like, rear side ones are the decoy launchers and front sticky out bit is the grav torp

Didnt think about self-welding armor! This is why i love the SE community.

Decoys wont do much for my problem, cutting my ships apart with the non-turret gatling. I tend to avoid mods as well other than the speed one so it honestly is just its base stats that seem high to me.

Learning about my creations and durability by attacking them now, but man, gatlings... ;;

You could try a shield mod if any are working at the moment.

Ahh yeah sorry you clearly said gattling guns, for some reason my brain instantly though of turred defence lol

It is a lil odd that gats are getting through heavy armour so quick. I remember it being a lot slower than that aswell :)

Iv been working on some small grid turrets for one of my ships to replace the vanilla ones. Im thinkin of just doing gats because every time i use reloadable launchers i gotta have the huuuuuuuge cargo container, so i can conveyor it in, and it looks too chunky :(

Use heavy armor blocks and decoy blocks, Missile turrets counter gatling turrets. Enjoy.

Or download a mod like Energy Sheilds.

Player made gattling turrets? Yeaaaahh.... I'd stick to sniping with a grav gun. Getting perfrated is overated.

Edit: correction: shredded.

Wow grav guns, thats a blast from the past. So easily defeated, and mostly useless on 99% of the servers where max item count is any kind of reasonable number.

A single sphericla grav gen pushes it away unless its perfectly targetted, and then it just bounces off anyway.

Have you tried space balls/masses? Especiacially coupled with timers and even handing the ownership of the projectiles to your target when they are ready?

Battery and timer on the round. Dissable arti mass/spaceball 5 seconds (500m) after launch. Grav shields negated :)
