Vanilla | Survival | Subgrids | Scripts | DLC


The S-3 Rapier is an interplanetary exploration ship that can fly on all planets and moons.



For flying on all planets and moons except "the moon" it needs the hydrogen thrusters.
On the moon it can hover without them. Ascent is very easy, since it can hover at all
times on all planets. As a exploration ship it is not heavily armed and features only
two custom turrets (2x3 gatlings) and 3 rocket launchers as it's main armament.
The hydrogen tanks provides enough fuel for about 30 minutes of flying under combat conditions.

@Otter you probably figured this out by now, but you have to select the weapon from the blocks tab in your G menu

Yes, I've already done all of that, and that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking how you got the firemode in the taskbar. All that I can do is set it to "fire once" or "shoot on/off"

If you still can't get it to work, you can try this too. I made it myself, but haven't updated it in a long time, probably still works though.

Just place a progammable block, load the script and group all your rockets with group name "Salvo Group 1". The script does the rest and you can just normally fire the rockets like always and the script will sequence them

I checked the script, and I still can't figure out how to make it work by a mouse click.

Listed the script in the description: Whip's Weapon Salvo Script

I wanna ask, how did you set it to fire the rockets when you hold down left click? I'm trying to do something similar with a ship design of my own.

Beautiful ship!

@Finn, no it doesn't. It's to small for it unfortunately and I couldn't fit one. This slightly larger ship of mine does have one though.
