I forgot to mention that there's some invisible hologram projectors in the cargo area to add an emblem to the sides of the structure. I like the exposed engine idea. I should work on my own refit as well now that I'm shaking off the FtD burnout.

[@GMODISM]

Awesome, then I'll see that cargo area XD

You don't need Emergency Ejection Defuses on solid kinetic shells. The GP casings go away when the shell is ejected, and the shells themselves do so little damage when ejected that they don't pose a threat to most other components in an Advanced Cannon. There is also a fine balance for just how accurate your CIWS needs to be for a direct hit. I find around 0.1 works well enough while still allowing for more damaging components or a better optimized cannon. A bit of a shame you didn't try out the multi-barrel burst CIWS I sent you.
As for power priority, the Electric Engines show up as producers because they convert battery energy to engine power. They should be as low as possible in most cases, so they only run when other engines are overburdened. Propulsion (especially jets) should have high power use priority for airships to ensure they don't fall into the water if there's a power shortage.

[@GMODIST]

Oh is that so, having a defuse makes the shell not even spawn however which I think feels very nice and safe!
I did try the ones you sent offline, but the tetris was now how I do it so it got confusing and the shells I put in them made them unbalanced, I like to install shells on my turrets if possible because I'm that lazy XD

[@OmicronMkI]

@@GMODIST Fair enough. I think the tetris in those turrets is weird because I was trying to fit them in a very small space, and they were specifically balanced for a shell with 4 segments and 16 GP casings.
