Since old ship designs are being revisited lately, maybe this turret base can be shifted slightly?

To clarify what was reported. L turret variants with long gun barrels can have the tip of their gun barrel visually clip into the hull of the Behemoth when placed in the top L turret bank.

Nothing i can really do against that at least from the art side of things.
The turret constraints are defined in the turret itself, it does not know about the ship geometry around.
Making the barrels shorter will make the guns look worse again, so i would like to avoid that.

Would it be possible to insert some extra geometry there to slightly raise that part of the ship? Or does that necessitate remaking the whole thing?

That said, I actually like the short guns personally.

It's a special feature to allow them to clean the barrels without having to go EVA. <I'll get my coat.>
