Helios PJ-33 Piston Jolt

[Vanilla|"Survival Ready"|Subgrids|No Scripts]

A piston gun that propels a small projectile through magical piston jolting. It breaks the speedlimit (in vanilla) and reaches around 450 m/s ± your ship speed. It's completely stable and doesn't create any torque on ships.

Are you wondering what the hell this is? Well, a gun basically, try it out, it's fun.

That's the old version.

What's special about this new version? -projectiles are now properly detached (thanks to double hinge design) (no more weird ghost forces when the projectile flies away too far) (also better for performance) -50% more speed -You can now have multiple on the same ship, one timer triggers all -100% faster firing cycle thanks to sensor trigger -No more unstable double rotor, stable double hinge instead -Easier to build in survival (Still a pain in the ass, might make a tutorial vid at some point) -No more remote- or self-detonate, now just unlimited range

Some stats:

-Blocks: 179 + 5 per projectile -PCU: 1893 (+190 per projectile) -Mass: 20 t -Projectile mass: 465 kg -FireRate: up to 40 RPM

How to use:

-It only works in experimental mode -Place it on your ship -You can place multiple (they blow up if you add to many, 4 was safe for me) -Put Timer called (Piston Gun) Fire in your toolbar with 'trigger now' -Fire at will :D

Tips: -you can increase the minimum distance of the pistons to make it safer for laggy environments at the cost of some speed -maybe add some exhausts with spark effect for the looks -you can remove the space balls, they are "just" a counter weight. If you have two symmetrical guns, you don't need them at all
