when i was playing around with my worm ship,i was like...what can i do with the joint? so the rotating ion now exist! and i will explan how to build/control one
1.how to build one
make a ion turret that have turning thruster
it need a control room on every turret
it also need joint on the turret there is diffrent joints but this is the one im using(ignore the structure

2.how to control one
all you need to do is tell your turret to attack the enemie
you can aim the turret your self by turn the whole turret(like a ship)

this is a ship i made using the rotating ion!not the best,but this is just a test for me 🙂image https://i.imgur.com/6W97cIh.png
(i forgot to say need joint the frist time so now there is edited 😛)

    That's potentially game changing. Have you tried making a ball joint yet?

    interesting.....

      Dibs yes,this is joint i have that have the most turn radios in all my joints

        CATMASTER This is awesome very creative idea! I was trying to make a worm ship the other day and was having a lot of trouble piloting it... do you have any advice on how to get one to work?

          Cosmic_Horror not much,the only point of worm ship is pretty much just the joint so....
          i used this joint for my worm ship ,use it if you want to

          this arent the best joint XD

              CATMASTER I can make a decent joint it's just that the jointed ships are always trying to fly away from eachother which makes it impossible to control. I haven't found a way around that yet🙁

                mystery_player That thing looks just up my alley haha. I'll have to test it out when I get home.

                CATMASTER I think I know what you mean, I'll try that out later.

                        CATMASTER Ion beams have knockback

                          CATMASTER

                          Canoneer and use that to push the doors.

                                kieffer5101 thruster normaly works better,but what ever..

                                    CATMASTER but here you have better control, because the can give them command groups for each door and set them on autofire and turn them on and off

                                        Just wanted to say thanks for the help and show off my "jointed" ship. I think the main issue was that I didn't have control rooms on my segments. Feel free to play around with/use the joint design.
