HOTFIX - 05/02/22

- Swapped out Secondary Railguns for Heavy "Flak" Cannons; better DPS.

<!> IMPORTANT <!>
- The player made weapons are still controlled via script, not via the new turret blocks.

====================

OPERABILITY:
- Bring ship to a full stop to fire guided munitions (this is to stop them detonating in the tubes)
- The large cannons are fully conveyored and can be replaced if desired
- LIDAR targeting is via the ship's nose; Point at the thing you want to lock onto.

====================

SURVIVAL READY - Printing of sub-grids will not carry over, however the ship is fully functional & ready for survival use.

<!> VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH Not Atmo-Capable <!>

====================

My longest ongoing project, Vanguard was inspired by HMS Vanguard (23) - Older versions of the ship were heavily inspired by Vanguard's hull form & general shape, as the ship has changed with each refit the overall shape has been slowly lost, however the shaped hull still remains under the armour.

This version of the ship (MOD 9) is a long running updated version of the command vessel configuration, This one does away with the Fleet Command script and instead has a superstructure more inspired by "classic" warships. She also has a MUCH more detailed interior with wooden floored cabins, for that real luxury feel....

Vanguard is a very heavy ship, with some serious armour around key components - multiple redundant bridges mean that even under heavy damage in combat, the ship can still be commanded with reasonable efficiency.
