My GOD so many rocks on the way.

Space Boat v1 had 4 guns, and died immediately.

Space Boat v2 had 10 guns, and manged to barely get there by manually pausing thrust several times, then getting smashed in orbit by Fulgora’s drifting medium asteroids because it ran out of ammo.

Space Boat v3 has 28 guns protected by walls and a stockpile of ammo. It can get there and back again. Time will tell if it has production capabilities to survive parking in Fulgora orbit.

    I just built my first one, though I haven’t gone anywhere yet. I’m using the cargo thing (I can’t think of the name) for a stockpile of ammo. Ammo gets built and I store like 5k in there, and it gets offloaded onto belts when needed. I’m assuming this will probably become the default way to handle it. It seems so obvious, and you can just park as long as you need to to restock ammo.
