Gun turrets shoot up asteroids, import ammo from planet or make yellow ammo from asteroids.

Turrets with default ammo, its need iron and you can get iron in space
At least for Vulcanus asteroids

wow your ship put's my little square to shame.

I have been going between Vulcanus and Fulgora and yellow ammo has been enough. when you're flying the asteroids only come from the top so I have more more turrets there. It's a waste of resources early on if you send ammo to your ship. It's way cheaper to just make yellow on your ship, or send up a rocket full of copper and craft red on your ship. I try to make sure I have like 600 yellow ammo and once I get to a planet I send everything I need down, and just send my ship back so it doesn't just waste ammo sitting above planet for hours.

On top of turrets i would advise against building more than one engine, going fast might just overwhelm your turrets.

The solution to that? More turrets!

On my first interplanetary trip, I did have to disable thrust periodically to keep from being overwhelmed (and was fortunately half-way so I wasn't losing progress). But I had enough spare supplies to make another line of turrets and that was fine until ammo ran out (so I had to keep limping to allow resupply to build a stockpile) and that just taught me to make more bullets.

As others have said, more turrets :-)

This is my Mk1 ship (first and only one built so far, other than a static platform, for space science):

And the inside:

I used this for my initial planetary invasion ship for Vulcanus, my first new planet (hence all the storage).

It's a little messy, as I was learning the new mechanics as I went, and since building it, I've unlocked new recipes for the crusher, so I might change a few things around for the Mk2. I'm also going to improve the shape, maybe go for a flying wedge sort of shape (aka Star Wars - Star Destroyer).

The Mk1 is now just running shuttle runs back and forth between Nauvis and Vulcanus.

I currently ship all the ammo (red) up from planet side, although this takes a little while at 50 ammo at a time, so I'm in the process of building Ship Mk2, which will have a better layout, and will produce ammo on board, I'm also going to increase fuel and oxidiser production a little bit more.

Once the Mk2 is complete I'll then retrofit the Mk1 above, to the new Mk2 model.

in the long run, absolutely.
i just mean for the first hops over to not gleba.
I started my first journey with 3 boosters...
