GC. Artillery frigate

Description
You do not need the VSI thruster recolor mod to fly this vessel. (but it does look nicer)

Intro
Hard to spot hard hitting and made for long range. The GC. Artillery frigate is made to destroy space bases and perfect for first strikes.

Stats
Although it’s a bit weak in combat. It’s made for long range. Shooting a variety of different slugs. Each slug being designed for destroying bases and capital ships. you have 4 different round types pre-installed inside the gun (see ‘How to use’ for explanation). These rounds being blast-doors, large warhead, airburst or grapeshot (aka rapid fire). These rounds can often easily one-shot ships and when shot often stay accurate to a 10km range. Although hitting targets gets pretty difficult above 10km.

But how are you supposed to know where your target even is. This ship has 2 stealth-drones for that. To read how the drone work go to its workshop. But in short: Connect the drone to your laser-antennas for stealth running and fly to your target without accidentally disconnecting the laser.

As for general stats: This ship is not so slow but it won’t win you any races. Its armor is pretty thin so avoid al damage if possible. Its cargo carrying capacity is on the high side since your slugs are pretty expensive. Its incapable of flying in atmosphere. And lastly it has 2 jump drives for a decent jump range.

How to use grav-cannon
Go to hotbar 3 for most functionality:
  1. Press 1 to reset the action. So long as there is no bullet in the chamber you can press this button to restart.
  2. Press 2 to go in the chamber camera. This camera shows you what you are doing. Therefore, is pretty important.
  3. Press 3, 4, 5 or 6 to load a blueprint. You can even switch between blueprints during this faze.
  4. Press 7 to confirm your choice and weld your round. Resetting the action on this point is not possible anymore. The only way to clear the chamber is to shoot the round.
  5. Wait till the slug you have selected is 100% welded. And then press 8 go in the aiming camera. This camera is posted just half a block above the barrel so aiming with it is pretty easy.
  6. Finally press 9 to fire. Be sure your side-to-side speed or up down speed is bellow 10m/s. And make sure you don’t turn the ship when firing. Some rounds can be fired if you turn the ship a few degrees. But if you move to fast the slug will explode in the barrel.

Go to hotbar 4 to 7 for rapidfire
Hotbar 3 is fine for firing shots but its difficult. Using any of the 4 to 7 hotbars make it easier. These hotbars have all the timers above the wasd keys and therefore can be shot with just one hand.
  1. Press 1 to reset
  2. Press 2 to load a blueprint. (Hotbar 4: blast-door, Hotbar 5: warhead, Hotbar 6: airburst, Hotbar 7: grape-shot(aka rapid fire))
  3. Press 3 to weld the round.
  4. Press 4 to fire round.

Bullets if you whant to edit them.

There are 2 small grid projectors and 2 big grid projectors if you want to test your own custom rounds in this gun. The have already been set up to function the same way as the other rounds. Go to hotbar 8 to use them. It works the same as in hotbar 3.

Outro
A decent ship and I hope you like flying it. Btw don’t get confused by the gravity inversion :D its going to be standard on most GC ships.

well I just realized I misspelled artillery to atillery -_-
Can’t change the blueprint name anymore -_-
