Launch Tubes

ah, well thats your decision, so dont let me tell you otherwise.

But yeah. When i tried this i needed a modded gravity gen that went to, like, 100x or more do get anything close to proper acceleration, i just......... need a mod to visualize artificial gravity!

Welp, thanks for an awesome, mod, imma go make an surface to orbit delivery cannon now

I'm not currently updating these mods.

You should use your engineers ingenuity and put a mass block on your smaller ships. Then use a grav generator to launch the ships/cargo/missile?

This is what i used these for when I made the mod. Automatic drone deployment.

can you ad a 1x5x5 variant that can apply up to 100Gs of force in a certain direction? i REALLY want to make an easy railgun/ship/cargo launcher, and honestly, this is what i thought when i saw "Launch Tubes", with a bore size large enough to fit small ships!

The mod Gravity Tubes does roughly the same thing, but they are mainly for long corridors where you dont want to walk the entire time. Also, they are 1 block only.

This would be an amazing addition to this mod, and truly make this a "Launch Tubes" mod

Great for Death Stars!

needs a cap hatch

As is, many of my 3000-4000 PCU small grid ships fit two per tube already. A maximum cross sectional area of 275 small grid blocks is freakin' huge. Make a small grid ship 40 blocks long (twice the width/height of the ship), and that would be about 5k-10k blocks, or a 30k-100k PCU small grid ship, which would be a huge lag monster.

Everyone can build what they want, but my vote is this size is ample. For anything large, there's always the old-fashioned external dock.

Different user condottiere here. I dig this mod. Made my first carrier with it. Then i had to shoehorn some large grid drones and ships into the tubes. Due to the octagonal corners, a 3x3 cross with the corners filled in with slope blocks works pretty well. I can wedge on some more half blocks, but that's extra tight. I just got lucky with some of my prior small large grid utility designs that also happened to fit.

Due to collision boxes being different from construction bounding boxes, I can even cram on an artillery turret on a gun drone! :D

Small grid can fit whatever.

My feeling is that the mod is great for what it does. Too many one-situation features (like longer tube blocks) bloat the size of the mod and memory space it uses, which needs to be balanced against simply putting down 3-4 of these in a row for longer ships.

Or maybe modular side/corner blocks to allow assembling any desired dimension of larger tube.

I wouldn't want separate differently sized tube blocks.

what condottiere said we need the port bigger.. it doesnt fit a whole lot maybe a piece as well for longer ships not just bigger.

was working on a large scale mass driver... but kept having the missile spin out an hit something.. this is the perfect replacement for my clunky designs

Thanks for the mod, I really like it. If you are considering an upgrade to this mod could you please think about making the diameter/gridsize larger, only about half of my ships fit through at the moment.
