Helios T-2X Mantis

[Vanilla|Survival Ready|Subgrids]

A simple placeable custom turret with 2 gatling-guns. It is unconveyored, but can hold plenty of ammo in the connector. The ammo lasts for 7 minutes of straight fire, but realistically this won't ever survive that long in a fight.

It is set up to work with all major turret scripts (choose one).


-Blocks: 31
-PCU: 792
-Mass: 4.8 t
-Max-Angle: [-45°] - [90°] Up

Choose one of the three turret scripts and follow the instructions:

2.-Place a single turret on your ship
3.-Rename Turret Group X (change the X to a,b,c or something) (delete the old Turret Group X!!)
4.-Place one or more AI turrets close by and include them in the group (interior turrets work well here)
5.-Nametag all AI turrets with 'Designator', e.g. "Interior Turret 2 Designator"
6.-Repeat step 2-5 as many times as you want
7.-Delete the group called DDS Turrets

8.-Recompile script if you add more turrets
