Railgun Revolver - Rapid Fire Artillery

Had the idea to create a mechanism that would move multiple low ROF guns into alignment one after the other to create a kind of sniper chain-gun. This ship isn't much to look at but is more of a proof of concept.

Feel free to improve on the design! Would love to see a ship designed around the concept, or as an emplacement or turret on a capital. I also attempted a 16-gun version with 3-block-long spokes - there was not enough clearance, but 4 blocks should work.

Operation instructions:

- Enter from lower rear and find the command seat
- You should have the Railgun weapon and Rotor On/Off in your toolbar, if not, add them
- Start the rotors and hold the fire button!

Plans for the future:

- Add one or two Spotter drones to get closer to aid in locating the enemy and aiming at the ridiculous ranges the railguns provide
- Add mining capability/drone and refinery to manufacture its own ammo, allowing it to operate in a self-sustaining manner and "camp" in remote areas far from support infrastructure
