Anyway way to build coaxial weapons?

[Goldenveins]

I've got the best railguns I can make at a turret factory on rotation lock blocks. Might as well make coaxial weapons if possible. Anybody know?

i am not sure how to do it step by step but if you grab one of these load it up you can see how its made and try and replicate https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=445220&requiredtags


Edit: cant post full link all you have to do it click the coaxial turrets on the right hand side menu and it has a bunch

So the problem I have with Coaxial weapons is that you can only find them at certain tech levels, tech levels mostly only found in the inner core. We can edit the config file now but I don't know enough about it and I suspect if i were to change the values it would make most / all turrets into coaxial ones. To be coaxial it needs to take up 5 or more slots.

In case it wasn't clear you can't convert normal turrets to coaxial ones. (unless there is a mod that does it im unaware of)

You can find the values in the Turretgenerator file in Avorion->data->scripts->lib

They def should change the coax settings to 3 and 5 slot versions with the 3 slots only getting half the bonus. They would be kind of useful on smaller interceptor ships that dont have a lot of slots for upgrades. And i have yet to see one in my game pre core opening.

damn. well it looks like the way i'm going to have to do it, is build 5 of the best rail guns i can find for 275 million, and then research all 5 at the same time

That would be a waste of 275million. Thats not how the research works

Go buy the cheapest railguns you can find, and build a research station right near 0,0

Research is just a new random roll for items, the only thing the base items do is determine the rarity and weapon type. It will increase the tech level to the stations tech level location.

The increased tech level is what matters the most. It will allow them to be coaxial and gives them a larger budget for stats. It does not mean it will roll a good weapon.

i almost cried at this lol. atm best guns i have in my game are 76 million a piece. i cant even stomach the thought of people turning these into a research station and getting glue back lol.

Thanks, I didn't realize it had been updated. The forums seem to suggest its not working but I don't have an issue with it on the beta branch.
