Hi Everyone,
I am interested in building my own vessel in creative.
However I need to know if I will be able to spawn it into HWS.
What at the gun limits for all vessel types?
Hover, Small Vessel, Capital Vessel, Base.
Are they all default vanilla or have they been increased?
I am interested in CV gun limits first…if anyone can help that would be cool.

The only thing which is changed as far as I can think of is CV having 12 manual fire laser & 8 manual fire homing rockets and then bases can have 4 artillery

_(Numbers shown are the MAX allowed of each type of weapon, drill, tool, etc.)_
**3.1** If your blueprint is **Orange or Red** and not allowed on the server, it means the blueprint exceeds the server weapon(s) limit or has an outdated / illegale item built in.

> **Choose** means a decision between the **normal Turret** or the **retractable Turret**.
> For BAses and CVs it also means certain **type decisions**.
> _For example either 5 Pulse Laser Turrets + 5 Plasma Turrets or only 10 Plasma Turrets =\> you can pick the amount of Turrets out of a group limit basically.
> **Choose wisely** with our [Effective Weapon System](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uxoPbrFKitNpAbOTHwXrMG4Ms1bHQsd1jzPt1v40kzw/edit?usp=sharing) in mind!_
> **Retractable Turrets** have on HWS **20% more internal armor** if retracted and **+20% more Hitpoints**.
_Keep in mind that [HWS Garage ships](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/elemental-garage-ships/4642) can exceed these limits !_
