Weapons:Spoiler
Laevatein Assault Cannon

Large Ballistic
A rotary Mjolnir configuration that puts less strain on the flux grid but loses efficiency against faster targets.
Hellbore alternative look
(https://i.imgur.com/Gn7nKG0.png)
Essentially a visual update for the vanilla hellbore.
If you prefer vanilla looks simply remove hellbore_ sprites located in graphics/weapons from the mod folder.
Note that being docked might be necessary for the spacer work crews to repaint your craft.(https://i.imgur.com/imGzdIs.png)
