Description
A cute little picket ship!
Built to send railgun shells back to sender.

Stats:
> Single grid, one decorative DLC block (a bed), but the ship will not implode if you don't have it.
> Easy to build, built-in projector for repairs.
> 6 defence turrets.
> On-board survival kit.
> Custom anti-grav script that triggers a gravity shield when a projectile (or ship) is detected.
> Range is currently set to ~400m, the maximum effective distance for a spherical gravity generator.
> Note: uses sensors as a back-up trigger in case something goes wrong or scripts are disabled, however this will allow the picket ship only to detect projectiles within ~50 meters. It's still enough to stop most shots directed at it, tho.
> Jump capable, built in hydrogen generator & solar for a recharge (fairly good on power, as the grav gens are usually offline).
> Note: This has terrible maneuverability/stopping power & is a glorified satellite. It's intended to get into a position or connect to a larger ship - then stay there. Forward thrust can enable a quick retreat tho, if ya need it!

Shoutout to Whip for the turret radar script, which was invaluable when figuring out how to get turret target data.

This is great!

Also, would you consider publishing the script separately? It sounds like a very useful thing to be able to do
