If you're thinking about doing something like this in survival, there is one thing to remember: LOGISTICS are key! Automated mining, hauling, and manufacturing would most definitely be required to run a defense system at this scale without significant, laborious upkeep. A small, barebones mining and production base on the planet would constantly mine resources, then assemble them into components for player-made missiles (steel plates, etc.) and railgun ammunition. This would be achieved using PAM drones for automining (one per ore deposit) and a script for automated assembling such as Printer Toner. Automated cargo drones using SAMv2 for transport of railgun ammunition to the orbital railguns (SAMv2 allows docking to mobile connectors, which is required for docking to the railguns, but requires an antenna connection to both dock locations, which impedes stealth) and PAM for transport of components to missile bases (PAM doesn't require antenna connection, which helps with stealth, but cannot dock with mobile connectors from my experience.) The missile bases themselves will be barebones structures that are made to fit as many missiles as the server can handle, with as little PCU as possible. If the planet has an atmosphere, or construction of ion thrusters is impossible due to a shortage of platinum, a missile base may also have to produce its own hydrogen to fuel hydrogen-powered missiles, most likely with the use of a dedicated automated miner for ice extraction. If a system like this is built, then an entire planet could be defended with minimal upkeep. If the drones finish their mining job, a new job will have to be set up before they start mining again. This seems to be a limitation of PAM that I have not figured out how to circumvent. This is mildly annoying, as many servers' cleanup settings may reset voxels if no grid or player has been within 5 km of them in 24 hrs, allowing ores to regenerate. Pros: easy way to completely bar entry to a planet minimal upkeep Cons: new players may still be able to spawn on the planet still requires some upkeep very PCU intensive, may slow the server down a lot. Could even cause you to get banned for lagging the server. would take an extremely long time to build, so not good for servers with frequent resets.

Well no need for such an extensive system really. After all the barebones variants is 3/4 missile silos within striking angles and each having 1/2 turret based railguns. Getting the intel is the hard part as you will need a network of sensor satellite to actually detect and direct fire for your weapons. Your weapons will only autonomously engage around 10km or so unless you have a mod that somehow detecs from further away

Honestly if they weren't flying straight-ish and towards the guns they could pass them... It's still dangerous as you get closer but they didn't have coilguns support and also benefited from a 1000ms speed. Pretty big closing speeds as a result. Now hunter coilguns for that use are deadly. They may "only" have a range of 25k but they hit instantly and quite hard to boot. Meaning there is no evading them. As soon as they are in range, may they be on the planet surface or in space, you are going to start taking repeated damage. If you were to build such a system in survival they would probably be your best bet. Good balance of all characteristics, amazing applicability of damage and still hit like a sledgehammer

How did you do it? I'm always wondering when watching your videos, what script you use? Is it on the workshop or is it just you experimenting?^^ Anyways, super cool video as always!

The railguns used are the Ares railguns from the Aryx Weapon enterprise pack [AWE]. They are big boi railguns with a projectile range of 50km The zoom comes from a plugging called scrollable FOV The rocket trial comes from rocket FX which can add highly customisable smoke and flame trails to any thrusters.

Torps move at 1000m/s so they are moving, the planet is terralis, a city planet which as a result is very tiny. Tiny planet+big boi railguns and missiles leads to the dissonance in scale. don't worry tho the final setup with absolutely everything installed will be be using a 120km diameter planet.

Hi man, I tried to build something like this but I can't figure out how to make the railgun target enemies automatically. All I did is place a railgun, a bit of armor around it, a fusion reactor and some Ion Thruster and it actually shoots but how do I make it change position based on where the enemy is? BTW you satellite is really cool! Would love to see it uploaded on the workshop!

@mobiuscoreindustries

I'm going to give you the details. For everything related to the aiming and shooting, I am using Artemis, the currently in development script that is a short of general purpose combat script compilation. The custom guided missiles, ammo loading and railgun aiming/shooting is all managed by the script. Furthermore what isn't visible is that the guns are shooting from 50km away, far too long a distance for the guns to see/engage using the practical methods of detection (at least the ones that don't rely on exploits). I have placed sattelites and probes along their path the goal being to relay their position. That's important, because while the guns can't see the target, *something can*, and because these drones also have Artemis on them, they share what they know to anything they can reach. Of course I do not relay that via antenna directly, instead i route it via laser antenna to one of the guns which then shares it to all others. This is then used by Artemis the same it would its own detection capabilities. As for the jumping part, this is pretty much a proof of concept, using an example jump control script, a mod, timers and a network control script I use to active/de-activate and position the grid around. It's not exactly a practical system yet
