Well.  Have you made it a separate mod?  And have you enabled it in Sins properly?

Also, if you are re-naming the ship's entity, you won't build the nifty fast-firing one, just the vanilla one.

So: same entity name, save your changes, enable mod in Sins mod manager.  Beyond that, there should be no reason why something as simple as this shouldn't work.

Woot. I think I found the problem.  As I mentioned before, I put it one folder too deep Refrence folder wasnt suppose to be there. 

As the good news, I got my first minidump.  Woot. Lets see if I can get anywhere with it.

Also, setting pointstaggerdelay to zero makes all the guns fire at once.  Try it for full-auto broadsides.

Haha, you're welcome I gotta say I was quite puzzled why it never seemed to work for you, but glad you got it figured out

Oh, and one more thing. Just to warn anyone who wants to do this, Missles = damage.  Giving your siege capitals a nice missle spread makes them unstoppable.  It looks really nice, but you might want to decrease the damage done by missles.   seeing a enemy fleet go down to one TEC Siege was something to see.

There is one other important factor you are missing. The burst count and burst delay only affects the image. In other words more "shots fired" when the gun fires. If you want to make a continuous stream of fire you have to go up a tid bit to where it says PreBuffCooldownTime: 5.5 or whatever. This means the capital ship will fire a volley every 5.5 seconds. When it volleys adjusting the burst count is how many particles it vollies. However, you can decrease the PRebuffcooldown to 1.1. Now you capital ship will fire every second on the second. However, now sinse it is doing five times as much damage because it's firing five times as fast, you need to adjust the weapon damage by a factor of 5 (5 times less). Then you'll have non-stop fire pretty much.

again the burst count is the number or particles shot when the gun fires, not how fast the gun fires. hope that helps.

You want to modify the BurstCount.  That's how many bullets are fired per burst.
