Alright, so, as the project gets underway, I realized something very important: The karking gun will need a design all of its own.
Apparently I forgot to have the thing designed beforehand and with Tenloss R&D working overtime on the ship as a whole, it's looking like I'm in charge of this one.
Guess I should get started. I'll record the majority of the things in here for future reference. Might be useful.
For starters, the cannon will have an immense amount of recoil, despite being a mass driver and despite being in zero gravity. For this reason, I've given the design a little tweak here and there.
Eight, thick, titanium rods are to be anchored into the spine of the ship and then attached to the support structure of the cannon mounting. On top of this, the cannon is turret mounted on the nose with a 200° arc of fire. For this reason, I've also altered the design to include a titanium turret ring with more titanium internal reinforcement. This will keep the cannon from ripping itself off the ship and from shearing itself off the turret.
