Beautifully done.

Also, thanks for the database! I was trying to do something similar a few years back (key word on trying), so having an actual database to take reference of was really helpful!
So... quick question: where did you get the explosionScale of unguided bombs? Are there any data on lethal radius that we should take notice of?
.... the damage model of "damage=caliber×2" sounds a bit underpowered for large-caliber guns, though: square-cube law meant a 20mm gun oftentimes had more than four times the muzzle energy as a 12.7mm, and the same goes for 30mm guns and 20mm guns. Just because a 30mm Minengeschoß can blow the wings clean off a Spitfire in one hit... doesn't mean three AN/M2 Brownings can do the same nearly as as fast.

... on a second thought.... early WWI biplane bombers also used hand grenades and mortar bombs as their payload not unlike modern drones, so...
Airburst munitions (which causes damage through shockwave, shrapnel, or fragmentation) don't quite work against armored targets so I doubt thats's the case.
it would be best if you had a target before you fire the cannons because the fuse input will not work properly and explode in the barrel of the turrets (all the guns have Fuse Input)
Though there are gaps in the shield but I think its fine not to make it fully cover the ship. how are you even gonna see through it (orbit view well work)
it stops missiles and fuselage that are non-XML modded
Taking a page from @Sadboye12, @Spefyjerbf, and my own research, I'd say that the quickest solution for this sort of issue.... would be making another "bouquet o' guns", this time static and actually having full coverage. Set the roundsPerSecond to some arbitrarily large number, the burstCount to "1", the timeBetweenBursts to the actual wanted time between individual "shield updates", and the lifetime and muzzleVelocity to a set of numbers that multiplies into the ship's length. Or, if you're using pistons to "open" the shield, set both values to something small but none-zero.

As for how to hide the bullets.... make the bulletScale something like "0, [12.5× your ship's length in meters], 0".
Requesting permission to use guided shells (aka gun-launched missiles 100mm or larger in diameter) for our railguns.

... Also, are there restrictions on directed energy weapons (lasers, plasma weapons, graviton beams, macron accelerators, etc)? And can can ships execute tactical jumps to close the distance, given that they matched the speed with their targets?

Good to see someone building square-rigged ships with stay sails, good job!

Seriously, if I were you I'd fix the camera, the crosshair, and the gun to the same platform, and have the camera auto-centered.

Is it correct to assume that something went wrong w/ the auto-credit system (again)?
@DISHWASHER2005
+1... which way? For my sanity I'll just assume the visual effects isn't the shield itself.
