That seems safe..

What is it though? I've seen Klang-drives using pistons and doors, but never heard of the Wobble Drive

Wobble drives aren't talked about often, but they use a spinning apparatus to screw up enemy targeting. Think of a hammer with decoys on the end spinning around a smaller ship... this used to (and probably still does) create problems for tracking within SE's vanilla systems. I imagine it may also create the same problems for Weaponscore as well.

Essentially, hardcore PVP'ers used/use this tactic to create ships that are very difficult to destroy with automatic tracking. You'd typically be forced to use fixed weapons, and depending on the server your on, those may or may not be effective.

Edit: To clarify further, this is definitely not an example of a wobble drive. This is just a Clangtraption that's gone hilariously wrong/right in a great way.

Ok, today I learned :D I haven't done any PvP, so never came across this before

You reached the end

Well, it *is* technically wobbling at an impressive rate... | Spyke
