There are some weird things in this video... apart from the music, that is. - Laser attacking turret seems to stop the ship from spinning. I guess that's only a concession to having a camera follow it without the stars spinnning and incuding dizziness in the viewer, but you never know what authors are thinking. - Those missile turrets look all kinds of wrong (small/low capcity with no apparent reload mechanism, easily shot off), and so is the idea of even having a turret for missiles at all that isn't for a coilgun shooting them out at 20km/s. Let's be real here, it was super obvious what was going on with the weapon in War of the Worlds to people of the 1890s. It's super obvious what is going on with a gun despite bullets not being that visible. If you show what looks like a spotlight and then show what looks like a target being lit up it's going to be obvious. Never underestimate people's capacity for stupidity. And regardless guns have their own coconut effects going on which are no more realistic than visible laser beams... not that I'm trying to support the use of these effects, mind. Sure, there are coconut effects, I am just saying that even with idiots you still rarely get people complaining when they see the realistic version of something as opposed to the realistic version. The haters still exist, but they aren't common enough to be worth worrying about. Half of CoaDE's success is based on that. I actually am demanding more realism... stupid cylindrical armor...

I want those turrets more than Orion. A thousand times this. But I want Orion too. I really hope Qswitched has plans for this. It's a wonderful game, but I've basically held off making anything new since 1.07 in the hopes that he'll come along with non-gimbled turrets and orion.

Like, make literally every single ship design obselete, don't you think? They are, however, what any space military would build ASAP, so I suppose in a way - more realistic than NTR or MPD powered warships.

Having linear staging (one bit falls off the end when it is out of propellant) to kick an Orion missile clear of the ship before the orion (with no pusher plate because missiles don't need that) drive ignite to propell missiles really fast, the first stage idea also works for NSWR missiles
