Item Description
"This is the turret axis module. Use a Rail Docker to dock to this block. A Rail axis will only move within the axis the block is facing. However, it is possible to chain two of them together to make turrets with full 360 degree freedom."

Usage
TBA Important information located here [[1]] under turrets. The rail turret block is built upon using other components, there is also a building turret feature as in this screenshot http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx43/CiggsOfwar1/starmade-screenshot-0064_3.png The green outlined block indicates a proper position and simple click to join the rail docker to the Rail turret axis, next comes placement of the core which has a variety of possible locations indicted by a light lime green box out line, best to put an alignment structure for further away locations than near the rail docker as this is a proceedure event, in this next picture I put the light lime green box ontop of the rail docker and that is where the core block will be fastened in this example.
http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx43/CiggsOfwar1/starmade-screenshot-0068.png Next is the important arrow, for forward facing turrets that arrow has to point to the front of the ship, notice that the indication arrow is located on top of the light lime green box as there is 4 forward arrow positions, it appears on the left and right sides and on the bottom of the light lime green box, as too why I mentioning it here as well, I keep making this turret base X-axis and I keep getting inverted, upside down and backwards when inside the core of the turret, as this arrow location is sometimes not the easiest to see dependant where you're positioned. Very easy to miss this aspect of the arrow and you end in all kinds of configurations you did not desire.
