Craft changes

- Completely updated and rewritten program;
- Fixed an issue that caused air defense to not hit fast and maneuvering targets;
- The remodeled guns now fire more realistically. Also fixed the problem of the cannon parts taking damage by the cannons themselves;
- Craft design has been updated.

Description

It's a Cannon Air Defense System that destroys aerial targets within a radius of up to 10 kilometers. This air defense system has more functionality than the Laser Air Defense System.
The target must have a mass of more than 5 kg and consist of 10 or more parts (these parameters can be changed in the program).
This air defense is designed to destroy large airborne non-maneuverable targets at long range. It isn't effective against small targets flying at high speed at very low altitude.

How to use

Place the craft in the desired location and activate AG1.
Activate AG2 to make the air defense focus on a specific target, even if it isn't the closest one (optional).
Activate AG3 to change the minimum and maximum range of the air defense.

    Brilliant, I've increased the rate to 2500 rounds per minute and added extra guns, put them all over the place (including satellites) can't launch anything from any where! I love it!

    @marwans You can also customize the direct damage of the cannons in the hidden properties of the rocket engines (details named Gun 1 – Gun 4). I tried to make this more versatile, but some targets take too long to destroy and others take too fast, so it's important to keep the damage balanced

    @DreaPods My Zircon has been shot down :)
    I'll be trying my ballistic and my orbital missiles once i have them ready. I've dedicated a base for you, named it DreaPods and so far you're ok, but i'll be coming with more.

    This has been able to shoot down two of my short range missiles. I'll be testing my Zircon missile tomorrow and will let you know :)
    Nice work!

    @Madrat Wow, thanks! I was afraid that due to the imperfection of the aiming algorithm the craft wouldn't be able to keep up with the target, and if the target is flying at low altitude (about a meter), the air defense won't notice it at all.

    This thing it amazing. The description says it is not effective against small maneuvering or small fast targets but it shot down a small craft going mach 3 in a turn multiple times
