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 made my B O A T as long and thin as possible and get by with just 6 turrets on the front using yellow ammo, and find that with 2 assembler making ammo on board I need a stockpile of about 300ish magazines for each trip.

My biggest problem is while it's parked above the planet it keeps getting hit on the sides by random asteroids, thankfully they rarely destroy and parts but the constant alerts are annoying.

Oh, interesting! I went halfway for a thin approach but think I went too wide when I needed to fit more stuff.
